Scholarship Program

Committed to watching our young members excel to higher education!

Committed to seeing our community and youth within our community thrive each year, Excel FCU awards $1,000 scholarship opportunities to three graduating high school students who demonstrate excellence in academics and/or creativity as well as extracurricular, philanthropic, and community involvement activities. Now is the time to apply.

Graduating high school seniors planning to attend an accredited college or university in the fall of 2025 are encouraged to apply no later than May 1. All applications must be fully complete before submission and include a You Tube link of the video prepared by the applicant to demonstrate their creative and thoughtful presentation in the video essay portion of the application. Relative to Excel’s dedication to the communities we serve we ask that this year applicants answer this multi-faceted question as the video portion of their submission while also telling us a little bit about themseleves: What does community mean to you? How have you invested in community to this point? What plans do you envision to invest in community during your educational pursuits and as you begin your life journey post-graduation from college?

Video should not extend beyond two minutes in length.

Fully completed submissions will be accepted no later than midnight May 1, 2025. Recipients of the scholarships will be notified no later than May 30, 2025 and scholarship monies will be arranged directly with the colleges being attended. Recipients of the scholarships will be responsible for providing the appropriate college contact information for delivery of all scholarship monies.

Help us brighten the futures of our youth. Encourage those graduating high school seniors you know to apply.
