North Island Credit Union invites college-bound students in San Diego County to submit an application for its annual College Scholarship Program. Through the program, North Island Credit Union provides $20,000 in scholarships annually to recognize students who are motivated in their academic studies and active in their schools and communities, giving back to others through service and volunteer work.
“We’re committed to helping our next generation of leaders pursue their educational dreams, and encourage local students to apply for one of our scholarships,” said California Credit Union CEO Steve O’Connell. “We know that affording the cost of higher education can be difficult, and we hope our scholarships make the path to college a little easier.”
San Diego area college-bound high school seniors and community college students transferring to a four-year university who maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.0 are eligible to participate. Selection criteria include academic performance, school or community involvement, a letter of recommendation, and an essay submission.

Since the creation of the program, the credit union has awarded more than $315,000 in scholarships.
