Eligibility: The applicant must be a member and have their own account with HealthShare Credit Union and be a high school senior. The applicant must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0, and he/she must expect to be enrolled as a full-time undergraduate student in an accredited college or university (two- or four-year program) during the coming school year.
Application process: Applicants will be evaluated by the HealthShare Credit Union Scholarship Program selection committee based on the following criteria:
