FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

December 26, 2007


Rising educational costs have most students looking for financial aid of some kind. One possible source is your local credit union. This year, RBCU is proud to present three separate scholarship opportunities.

Richfield Bloomington Credit Union Scholarships: 

It pays to be an RBCU member – literally! Seven (7) scholarships of $1,000 each will be granted by the credit union. Only RBCU members are eligible for these great awards. So if you know someone heading to college that would qualify to join the RBCU family, encourage them to become members and apply for this terrific opportunity. Contact either office, visit the RBCU website (www.rbcu.org), or call 612-798-7100 to have an application mailed to you.

The deadline to apply is March 1, 2008.

$8,500 in Scholarships Available From FIC: 

The Minnesota Family Involvement Council (FIC) is offering $8,500 in college scholarships to Minnesota credit union members, or the children, grandchildren or dependents of credit union members throughout Minnesota. Two $1,000 scholarships and thirteen $500 scholarships will be awarded in the spring of 2008.

Those interested in applying need to complete an application form and write a 500-word typed essay that answers the question: “How should your credit union prepare you for life?”

Application packets and instructions are available for interested members in the RBCU offices, or online at www.mnfic.org/scholarships.html.

The FIC Scholarship application deadline is February 1, 2008. 

Richfield Retired Educators Association Scholarships:
R.R.E.A. Scholarships are open to Richfield students and the children of Richfield public school staff members. Current seniors, students presently in college, and those returning to school are eligible to apply. The scholarship may be used for any post-high school educational program that is accredited or state approved. The applicant must have passed the Basic Skills Test. This past year, the RREA was able to award four $1500 scholarships.

Applications for scholarships will be available in the Richfield High School Guidance Dept.
