Scholarships

Each year, Emerald Credit Union selects up to two high school graduates within the school districts that we serve, to be awarded with a $1,000 intended to aid with college or other post-high school education expenses. We also proudly participate in the Greater Cleveland CU Outreach Alliance Scholarship Program, presented by the Ohio Credit Union League, which awards five scholarships in the amount of $1,000 each.
