Kellogg Community Credit Union (KCCU) announces they will be awarding five $1,000 scholarships to students seeking higher education in the Fall of 2018. High school seniors, high school graduates returning to college or attending for the first time, and students pursuing a degree or certificate in the trades, are encouraged to apply. The scholarships will help cover tuition and admission fees to any accredited college or university within the state of Michigan.

KCCU is committed to providing their members with financial opportunity, choice, and lifelong value.  They believe in ‘people helping people,’ and stand behind the principles that promote personal development and social responsibility. Offering scholarships is a way KCCU is assisting young members with the increasing cost of higher education and reinforcing its commitment to the financial success of their members. 2018 marks the thirtieth year of KCCU’s scholarship program, and since its inception they have awarded roughly $150,000 to local students.

Scholarship applicants must be planning to attend college on a full-time basis with a minimum of 12 credit hours. Applicants must be a member of KCCU. Students within KCCU’s field of membership who are not yet members are welcome to join.

“We are proud to be able to support the educational goals of our members”, says Tracy Miller, CEO of KCCU. “Through the KCCU scholarship program, we are able to assist local students to achieve a higher education and help them obtain their goals.”
