Scholarship Opportunities

Learn more about our scholarship opportunities

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. The parent/guardian or applicant must be a member of WCCU and attend a local high school to be eligible to apply. For more information, please contact Shannon Reed, WCCU's Financial Education Coordinator, at [email protected] or 401-596-7000 x2132. (Please note email is not secure.)
