College Scholarships

State school or private university, there's nothing inexpensive about attending college these days. Our scholarship program helps the best and the brightest pursue their academic goals. Awards are made through the Elizabeth “Sis” Hamilton Scholarship Fund and the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation’s Scholarship Program. Here's who is eligible:

• High school seniors or above (graduate or equivalent) who are members of Summit Credit Union or of an affiliate credit union. (Each applicant must have his/her own member account - an individual savings account - with the credit union.)
• Any member (or their immediate family) of Oxford Credit Union who lives or works in Granville County, NC
• Employees (or their immediate family) working at United Chemi-Con Manufacturing Company in Lansing, NC, or Barker Microfarads in Hillsville, VA
• Employees (or their immediate family) working at any of the plants served by Century Employees Savings Fund Credit Union at the time of the merger with Summit Credit Union, including Century Furniture, Hancock & Moore, and Valdese Weavers
