For the 15th year, DuPont Community Credit Unionwill award $1,000 scholarships to 19 high-school seniors at the DCCU Annual Meeting in late April.

A total of $19,000 in scholarships to area students will be awarded at the meeting. The deadline for applications is March 8, 2010.

“DuPont Community Credit Union stresses financial education and assisting students in our community,” said David Snyder, financial education manager. “This is a tangible way the Credit Union gives something back to the young people and their families in the communities which we serve.”

Eligible high-school seniors include those attending public high schools in DCCU’s service area (see list at right); local private schools; and home-schooled students. Students are required to complete a one-page application and write on an assigned essay topic, which is available on the credit union’s website: www.mydccu.com.

Credit-union membership is not required to apply for the scholarship.

All applications are to be submitted directly to:

DuPont Community Credit Union, Attention: Scholarship Committee

P.O. Box 1365

Waynesboro, VA 22980

Applications may also be delivered to any office location in Waynesboro, Staunton, Stuarts Draft, Verona, Harrisonburg or Woodstock.
