2023-2024 SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

Additionally, applying for the GMFCU Scholarship above will also apply you for the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation Scholarship. The CCUF Scholarship is open to anyone seeking higher education in North Carolina or South Carolina. If you win the GMFCU Scholarship, you cannot also win the CCUF Scholarship. Find more information on the CCUF Scholarship.

We also encourage students to check out our Student Loan program to help fund their college education.
