How to Apply

 

Complete each of the four steps below to apply for a Cyprus Credit Union college scholarship.

 

 

Watch each of the seven videos in Cyprus Credit Union’s Personal Finance Series.



Read and work through the Cyprus Credit Union Spending Plan Workbook (download here). Here, you will use what you’ve learned from the personal finance videos to make a financial plan for your time in college. Fill in the fillable fields on pages 2–5 of the workbook and save your work as a PDF. You will upload your workbook later while completing step 4.

Record a video of yourself addressing this question: Now that you've viewed the Cyprus personal finance videos and created a spending plan, how will you use what you've learned to help secure financial success during your college experience?

Remember: 

  • Be creative and have fun!  
  • Present yourself in a professional manner. 
  • Keep the video between 1 and 5 minutes long.

Selection Process

Scholarship recipients will be selected by Cyprus Credit Union’s Scholarship Committee based on the quality of the application and materials provided. Up to 10 scholarships will be awarded. A recipient may not receive more than one scholarship. Each scholarship will be valued at $2,000. Completion of an application with all its component parts does not guarantee an award, even if there are fewer than 10 applicants. The Scholarship Committee reserves the right to award as many or as few scholarships as meets its criteria. Applicants selected to receive a scholarship will be notified by May 17, 2024. Applications from dependents or employees of Cyprus Credit Union will be reviewed by an independent committee. Up to five of the total scholarships may be awarded to Cyprus dependents.

Please Note:

Scholarship recipients will receive a single check made payable to themselves AND their prospective college, university, or trade school. If not used within 30 months, Cyprus Credit Union reserves the right to award the scholarship to a different applicant. Deferrals may be requested for those not planning to attend college directly after high school graduation.
