Latham, N.Y. Community Resource Federal Credit Union (CRFCU) is offering local high school seniors a chance to win scholarships for college. CRFCU is participating in the New York Credit Union Associations statewide credit union scholarship program, which provides credit union members with scholarships. In 2015, scholarships awarded ranged from $250 to $1,500.
To be eligible, students must be high school seniors attending two- or four-year accredited educational institutions for the first time in the fall of 2016. They must also be members of Community Resource Federal Credit Union or another participating New York credit union.
