Enter the 2026 GAC Scholarship Contest Today


America’s Credit Unions is excited to announce the launch of the 2026 Small Credit Union Governmental Affairs Conference Scholarship Contest! A lucky winner(s) will receive a full scholarship to attend the 2026 Governmental Affairs Conference (GAC) in Washington, DC from March 1–5. This includes registration, airfare, lodging, and incidentals—everything you need to participate in the industry’s premier advocacy event.

To enter, credit unions are invited to take part in the Small Credit Union Committee’s Shared Resources Project, which highlights success stories where collaboration has helped address shared challenges.

To enter, complete the survey and describe how resource sharing or outsourcing helped your credit union overcome a barrier; or describe a current need that could be addressed through collaboration or outsourcing.

The Committee will review all submissions and select the best entries to receive the scholarship(s). All submissions will be compiled into a valuable resource for the small credit union community to foster future collaboration and growth.

The deadline to apply is December 1 at 11:59 pm.
