Each year, Credit Union 1 is proud to offer the Bill Countryman Scholarship Program to Alaskans of all ages pursuing higher education goals. Eligible scholarship applicants must meet one of these categories: individuals of any age who are continuing their education at an accredited college or vocational school; or senior high students applying for admission to an accredited college or vocational school.
The following criteria will be used to grant scholarships: applicants (or their parent) must be a member of Credit Union 1 for at least one year as of the application deadline; applicants must demonstrate financial need; applicants must provide documentation of community involvement and/or extra-curricular activities (however, there is no minimum requirement of involvement); and applicants must share details of how higher education will shape their plans/goals.
