2009 CUNA Scholarship Overview

In difficult economic times, credit unions often look to cut expenses. Many discuss whether to decrease or eliminate training. This proves to be a vital mistake, rendering the credit union at risk of noncompliance or employee turnover. These risks are generally much more expensive than the actual cost of a training program. Through our training programs, CUNA can help credit unions remain compliant with state and federal regulations and increase employee productivity.

CUNA is helping credit unions keep their staff well-trained in these tough economics times by offering a scholarship to cover tuition fees for CUNA Schools & Conferences.*

To be considered, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Applicants must be a credit union employee or volunteer.
• The applicant’s credit union must be affiliated with their league during the program for which scholarship funds are being requested.
• The applicant must be able to demonstrate a financial need.
• The applicant must stay at the designated conference hotel

Application Procedures

To ensure your application is considered, the completed application and supporting materials must be received as a package to CUNA at least 45 days prior to the start of the program for which scholarship funds are being requested.
