This year, the Foundation is continuing its mission of empowering local students, especially those who are breaking generational barriers, through the Ben DeFelice, CIRA, and Horizon Scholarship Programs.
Application Details:

These scholarships are especially meaningful for students who are the first in their families to attend college.

The support of the Northwest Federal Credit Union Foundation helps make this dream a reality, providing financial assistance that opens doors to endless possibilities.
Taralyn Tharp Kohler, VP Foundation Director says, ”The Ben DeFelice, CIRA and Horizon Scholarship program is a cornerstone of the Foundation’s efforts to support education and create opportunity in the community.
