The Northwest Ohio Chapter of the Ohio Credit Union League, an association of area credit unions, will award two scholarships.  One scholarship will be awarded in the amount of $2,000 and one for $1,500.  The student that receives the $2,000 scholarship from the Northwest Chapter also will be entered into the statewide scholarship program sponsored by the Ohio Credit Union Foundation, which awards five $3,000 scholarships.

To qualify for the scholarship, an applicant must be at least a senior in high school, and in pursuit of port-secondary studies of any kind.  Students need not be a Credit Union member to enter.  Students do not need to be a resident of Ohio.  In addition to colleges and universities, this scholarship may be used for trade, vocational or professional classes.  The deadline for applications is February 28.  Winners will be posted on www.nwocu.org by March 31.
