One Nevada Credit Union has partnered with The Public Education Foundation to administer our Community Leadership Scholarship Program.
The ONCU Community Leadership Scholarships are awarded annually to four eligible students as a way of recognizing and rewarding those graduating high school seniors that have contributed to the success of their community through their volunteer and leadership efforts.
Students must demonstrate leadership skills. Scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each will be awarded. Verification of enrollment (class schedule) is required. The funds must be applied toward tuition, fees and other appropriate educational expenses. These funds will be disbursed in equal payments over two semesters.
