This year, we’re proud to continue our partnership with the Northern New York Community Foundation to extend a Northern Credit Union scholarship opportunity to even more high school seniors!

Northern Credit Union, in partnership with the Northern New York Community Foundation, awards the Michelle Salisbury Memorial Scholarship in the amount of $300 upon high school graduation to a technical school- or college-bound student from each school district in Jefferson, Lewis and St. Lawrence counties, plus the Pulaski and Sandy Creek school districts. Our hope is that the scholarship will help cover some costs associated with continuing education, including travel to and from school, books, supplies, and other expenses.

The scholarship is in memory of Michelle Salisbury, a Northern Credit Union team member who passed away in 2009.

Students can take advantage of this opportunity by completing the universal application form on the Northern New York Community Foundation’s website. The good news is that the application form also allows students to apply for other local scholarships using the same essays! The deadline for the Northern Credit Union scholarship opportunity is May 1, 2022.

There is no fee for submitting an application, but applicants MUST:

• Complete the universal application on the Community Foundation’s website and submit all requested materials by May 1, 2022
• Be a high school senior at the time of application
• Be attending college or trade school in the fall of 2022
• Agree to use any scholarship award by January 31, 2023, at an accredited college or trade school

The community foundation will review applications in May, and Northern Credit Union will contact and announce winners in June 2022.
