Kinecta Federal Credit Union Announces its 2024 Youth Scholarship and Teacher Grant Program Extended its Application Submission Through March 10
On February 1, Kinecta Federal Credit Union announced its annual Youth Scholarship and Teaching Grant Programs. Scholarships are offered through Kinecta, and the Teaching Grants are sponsored by Innovision Society. Applications for both programs are being accepted through March 10. Kinecta will award eight $2,000 scholarships to students. While Kinecta's partner, Innovision Society, will award ten grants up to $2,000 to teachers.

This program is reflective of Kinecta's commitment to supporting the communities it serves.
"We are proud to offer the 2024 scholarship program to deserving students and outstanding teachers in our communities," said Kinecta Community Foundation Executive Director Latrice McGlothin.
