South Carolina Federal Credit Union Scholarship Program

South Carolina Federal Credit Union's annual scholarship program awards $60,000 across ten scholarships to high school and undergraduate students planning to enroll at an accredited South Carolina college or technical school. The traditional four-year-college track pays $2,500 (two honorable mentions) up to $15,000 for 1st place across seven awards; the specialized/technical-college track pays $3,000-$5,000 across three awards. Applicants need an unweighted GPA of 3.0 or higher and submit a roughly 500-word essay on how their education will let them give back to South Carolina, along with documentation of volunteer work, academic performance, and financial need. No credit union membership is required to apply. The 2026 cycle is closed; watch for the next cycle's dates.
