SCCU Difference Maker Scholarships
As a credit union, SCCU cares about our community and members. One way SCCU gives back is by giving scholarships to members furthering their education past high school! In 2026, we are offering FOUR $2,500 scholarships available for high school seniors. The Difference Maker Scholarship was created for students who believe in lifting others, strengthening neighborhoods, and leading with purpose. We are seeking applicants who demonstrate thoughtful reflection, authentic storytelling, and a clear passion for improving their communities—now and in the future.
