College Scholarship Opportunities with GHS FCU
GHS’s Scholarship Program offers our membership and community two scholarship opportunities for high school seniors attending two- or four-year accredited educational institutions for the first time in the coming year.
Our mission is to help our community achieve financial wellness, and avoiding debt is an important step in attaining that goal. For young adults building on the foundations of their financial situations, debt – especially student loan debt – can put the upcoming generation at a disadvantage. Additionally, one of the biggest barriers for students interested in continuing education is cost and fear of going too far into debt.
2026 Scholarship Applications
GHS Federal Credit Union is proud to partner once again with the New York Credit Union Association to offer graduating high school seniors the opportunity to earn financial support for their college journey. With just one application, students are automatically entered into two scholarship programs—the NYCUA statewide awards and the GHS local awards.
For students across our field of membership, GHS is deeply committed to supporting educational success as part of our broader mission of financial wellness. We believe strong communities are built by investing in the next generation, and our scholarship program is one of the many ways we help local students gain confidence, stability, and opportunity as they take their next steps. By easing the financial burden of higher education, we’re proud to champion the future leaders, creators, and changemakers who call our communities home.
Apply today and take the next step toward your future with the support of your credit union community!
