How to apply
STEP 1
Make sure you have a (dgital) copy of the transcripts from your last year of high school or your previous year in college (unofficial accepted).
STEP 2
Write a 500 word essay on one of the following topics of your choice:
A) How important is financial education? Should it be taught at schools? How would you get the most use out of free resources like Eagle's Banzai Financial Education Portal?
B) How does a Credit Union differ from a bank? Has a Credit Union helped you or your family out of a difficult situation before? What was your experience?
C) How to manage money is not a topic many young people get excited about - and is often not taught in schools. How would YOU engage young people and teach them about money and the responsibilities that come with it?
D) Social Media - Blessing or Curse? How do YOU use social media to your advantage?
STEP 3
Post to either Facebook, Instagram or Twitter - mentioning the scholarship - and tag us with both @EagleCommCU and #EagleCUScholarship ! This must be a post/reel to your profile (not a story) and stay up until the winner has been picked and published.
