DuPont Community Credit Union (DCCU) recently announced the winners of its annual scholarship contest. Over the last 20 years, DCCU has awarded nearly $250,000 in scholarship funds, helping hundreds of students continue their education.
This year, applicants were asked to write a 750-1,000 word essay about what they see as the greatest financial challenge people will face in the next five years and the role a credit union can play in helping members and the community prepare for this challenge.
