“Each year Soarion Credit Union is proud to provide resources to local students through our scholarship program and help facilitate access to higher education opportunities,” Ric Ledezma, Soarion’s President and CEO, said. “We look forward to seeing this next generation of leaders soar to their highest potential.”
Soarion Credit Union awards scholarships annually to deserving students who are planning on attending an accredited public or private college, university, community college, or technical college. Selection is based on the applicant’s service in the community, academic performance, leadership, and financial need. Recipients must be a Soarion Credit Union member or the dependent of a member in good standing. The scholarship program is administered in partnership with the Minnie Stevens Piper Foundation.
Information and application for the 2027 Soarion Credit Union Scholarship Program will be announced later this year.
