State Employees Credit Union (SECU) Foundation Scholarship

A two-year scholarship program offered by the SECU Foundation that awards 116 scholarships valued at up to $5,000 each to students within the North Carolina Community College System. Recipients are selected who best exemplify the credit union's membership philosophy of 'People Helping People.' The scholarship recognizes individuals most deserving of an opportunity to attend college based on demonstrated leadership, excellence of character, integrity, and community involvement. Preference is given to students whose parents or guardians and family members are public sector employees (state, local or federal government; public health; public education) who live and work in North Carolina. Recipients must demonstrate financial need using FAFSA, maintain a 2.5 GPA or higher, and agree to continue at the community college where enrolled for the duration of the scholarship for four consecutive fall/spring semesters or upon completion of a diploma program.
