The Evergreen CU Education Foundation has been established as a nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to education through scholarships. The foundation will award scholarships to Evergreen CU members pursuing postsecondary education, including college and trade schools.
“People Helping People is a core philosophy of credit unions and the Education Foundation is just one of many ways we’re fulfilling that,” said Jason Lindstrom, President/CEO of Evergreen CU and Board Chair of the Evergreen CU Education Foundation.
Starting during the spring semester of 2026, the Evergreen CU Education Foundation will award four scholarships of $2,500 to members (or their immediate family) who plan on attending an accredited college, university, or vocational school. Applicants must complete questions about their postsecondary education plans, community involvement, and the activities and experiences that shaped the applicant’s character.
“Whether you’re graduating high school, gearing up for university, or looking to transition into the trades at 40, applying for a scholarship with the Evergreen CU Education Foundation is a great option and can help lighten the financial load for secondary education,” said Jeanna Coates, Community Partnership Manager at Evergreen CU and a Board Member of the Evergreen CU Education Foundation.
The Foundation is currently accepting donations to add to the scholarship fund. All money donated to the Education Foundation will go directly to funding four scholarships awarded annually.
