“FCCU would like to extend our congratulations to the winners of the 2020 First Community Credit Union Scholarship Foundation Program. Best of luck to all our graduates this year, in your future endeavors,” said Steve Schmitz, CEO of First Community Credit Union.
Over the past 23 years, FCCU has given out more than $400,000 in scholarships. The Board of Directors recognizes the importance of young people receiving a good education and wants to encourage young people to do their best.
FCCU continues to do its part in providing incentives to help students reach their full potential. In 2014, First Community Credit Union created a program that supports our dedication to area communities by reinvesting in youth. FCCU donated $1 million into a scholarship foundation to provide additional scholarship dollars to graduating high school students. The earnings from the foundation go to fund scholarship opportunities for members of the Credit Union for years to come.
