We know that college expenses grow every year. That's why we created our scholarship program to help offset some of those expenses and help our local area high school members continue their journey to success.
All programs are sponsored solely by Westerly Community Credit Union. Applicant or Parent/Guardian must be a member of WCCU and attend a local high school to be eligible to apply.
