Buffalo Service Credit Union is offering college-bound high school seniors the opportunity to compete for statewide college scholarships. Scholarships will be awarded in the amounts of $1,000 and $500 and may be used at a two- or four-year accredited educational institution.

Students can take advantage of this opportunity by completing three easy steps:

Step 1: Stop in to any BSCU office to request a scholarship application form. If the student is not a member of BSCU, he/she will need to request membership, as well.

Step 2: Complete the application form, write an essay and obtain the required test transcripts, along with the signature of a parent or guardian.

Step 3: Return the completed form to BSCU no later than
January 22, 2010.

There is no fee for submitting an application, but students applying
MUST be:

members of Buffalo Service Credit Union
college-bound high school seniors at the time of application; and
attending either a two- or four-year accredited educational institution for the first time in the fall of 2010.
In early spring, applications will be judged against other submissions statewide. Winners will be announced in April.

In addition to all this, Buffalo Service Credit Union is offering its own $500 scholarship to our two highest-scoring members who did not win the statewide Association competition. Good luck to all!
