It’s all about recognizing students who have balanced their studies with meaningful volunteer work in their communities. The Foundation is thrilled to support these promising individuals as they embark on their educational journeys, which are sure to be just as remarkable as their achievements thus far.
So, who are the lucky recipients? Here are the enthusiastic youngsters who have earned this wonderful recognition for their hard work:
These ten determined students have demonstrated that hard work truly pays off, and their dedication to their studies and communities has not gone unnoticed!
Established back in 2005, the College Scholarship Program has come a long way, with over $455,000 awarded to students since its inception. The program reflects the Foundation’s commitment to fostering higher education and supporting community involvement among youth. To be eligible for these scholarships, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0 and have plans to attend an accredited college or university. It’s a fantastic opportunity for young scholars!
The North Island Credit Union Foundation operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, serving as the philanthropic branch of the North Island Credit Union. This credit union is a division of the California Credit Union, with a strong presence in both San Diego and Riverside Counties, managing assets of over $5 billion and boasting a membership base of around 200,000.
What’s impressive is that California Credit Union covers all administrative costs associated with the Foundation. This means that a remarkable 100% of donations can go directly toward community programs, making a real difference in the lives of those who need it most.
The Foundation is not just about scholarships, though! They also aim to support financial well-being and create meaningful change in the community by partnering up with various nonprofit organizations. They are making strides toward improving lives and nurturing future generations.
San Diego can be proud of these amazing scholarship recipients and the organizations that support them. These young individuals are just starting their journeys, and with the generous help of the North Island Credit Union Foundation, their futures look bright!
