Mid Carolina Credit Union Recognizes 2026 Scholarship Recipients
Mid Carolina Credit Union proudly recognized four outstanding students during its Annual Meeting as part of the credit union’s annual Scholarship Program. Each recipient was awarded a $1,000 scholarship to assist with college expenses as they begin the next chapter of their education.
Scholarship recipients were selected through an application process that considered academic achievement, extracurricular involvement, volunteer service, a personal essay, letters of recommendation, and completion of a financial literacy assessment through Banzai.
The scholarship program reflects Mid Carolina Credit Union’s continued commitment to supporting education and investing in the future of local students.
