The Foundation Scholarship Council (FSC) has officially launched the 2025-26 scholarship program. This year, the council will be awarding $18,000 in $1,000 individual scholarships – providing 18 Minnesota credit union members the opportunity to cut the cost of college. Any member of a Minnesota Credit Union Network affiliated credit union pursuing post-secondary education in the fall 2026/spring 2027 OR is a high school senior graduating in 2026 is eligible to apply.

The 2025 Scholarship question is:
Discuss a significant personal experience that has shaped who you are today. How has this experience influenced your educational and career aspirations? What lessons have you learned, and how do you apply them in your daily life?

The deadline for submissions is November 30, 2025.

Thank you to everyone who submitted scholarship entries for 2025. It was a pleasure to read your stories and learn about your academic journeys, as well as your philosophy of “people helping people” and what it means to you.

Due to the high level of competition this year, we awarded two scholarships. Congratulations to Elyana and Harper, who each received $500 to support their college education in 2025.

Congratulations to all high school seniors in the class of 2025! We wish you all the best in your future endeavors!
