MADISON, Wis. – As the current economy forces many credit unions to trim their training budgets, CUNA announces a new scholarship program to cover tuition for its on-site schools and conferences.

To be eligible, applicants must meet the following requirements:

• Applicant must be a credit union employee or volunteer;
• Must be from an affiliated credit union;
• Credit unions must demonstrate a financial need; and
• The applicant must stay at the designated conference hotel.

The CUNA Scholarship Committee will award scholarships based on financial need and application quality. Scholarship applications and supporting materials for eligible CUNA schools and conferences must be received at least 45 days prior to the start of the program.
