Congratulations to the 2023 Scholarship Recipients

Scholarship Winners Final 01

At Park View Federal Credit Union, our commitment extends beyond financial services. We believe in empowering our members to achieve their educational aspirations, and one way we do this is through our annual scholarship program.

Every year, we are pleased to award three (3) $500 scholarships to two graduating high school seniors and one full-time working professional. To apply, applicants must write an essay that is judged on content, clarity, and creativity.  This year, applicants were asked to write about “The difference between a credit union and a bank.”

It brings us immense pleasure to announce that Park View Federal Credit Union has recently awarded three $500 scholarships to exceptional individuals who will embark on their college journey in the fall of 2023.

Congratulations to our 2023 Scholarship Recipients!
