San Diego, CA–North Island Credit Union Foundation is asking college-bound students in San Diego County to apply for its 2025 Student Scholarship Program.
Through the program, the foundation provides $10,000 in scholarships annually to recognize local students who are motivated in their academic studies and active in their schools and communities.
“We’re committed to helping our next generation of leaders pursue their educational dreams, and encourage local students to apply for one of our scholarships,” said North Island Credit Union Foundation President Marvel Ford. “We know that affording the cost of higher education can be difficult, and we hope our scholarships make the path to college a little easier.”
North Island Credit Union Foundation scholarships are available to college-bound high school seniors and community college students transferring to a four-year university who reside in San Diego and Riverside counties. Scholarships are also available to North Island Credit Union members or their dependents residing in any geographic area. Students must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 to be eligible to participate. Selection criteria include academic performance, school or community involvement, a letter of recommendation, and an essay submission.
Interested students can find more information and apply online at northisland.ccu.com/studentscholarship. Online applications will be accepted through Friday, March 7. The recipients will be announced in early April.
The foundation’s annual Student Scholarship program was created by the credit union in 2005 to recognize outstanding students within its local communities. Since the creation of the program, more than $425,000 in scholarships have been awarded to students.
