Credit Union West Now Accepting Applications for Annual Scholarship Program
$10,000 in scholarships to be awarded
 
 
Glendale, AZ — Credit Union West is now accepting applications for their 2025 Scholarship Program. Applications are open to high school seniors in Arizona. Five scholarships totaling $10,000 will be awarded. As part of Credit Union West’s legacy of serving military personnel, two of the scholarships will be awarded to students who participate in their high school’s Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) Program.

“Credit Union West is proud to support the educational goals of the youth in our community,” said Karen Roch, President and CEO of Credit Union West. “Our annual scholarship program is a point of pride at Credit Union West and is an essential part of our commitment to giving back to the communities we serve in a tangible way.”

The scholarships will be awarded to five college-bound students who plan to attend a trade school, two-year, or four-year college in the fall of 2025. These scholarship funds, provided by the CU West CARES Charitable Foundation, will help students manage the costs associated with furthering their education.

Students must meet specific requirements and submit a short essay to qualify. To learn how to apply, visit cuwest.org/scholarship. Applications are accepted now through March 31, 2025. Scholarship winners will be announced in May.

Today, Credit Union West embraces the same commitment to the military and now has expanded to include all who live, work or worship in Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, Yavapai, Yuma, Mohave, Coconino, Cochise, Navajo, Apache, and Gila counties. Credit Union West serves over 90,000 members with more than $1.2 billion in assets. The credit union’s core principles have guided its decisions, which in turn has ensured integrity and trusted member service. Federally insured by the NCUA. Learn more at www.cuwest.org
