At Family First Credit Union, we believe in investing in the future of our members and our community. Each year, we proudly award three graduating high school seniors with a $2,000 Len Szumiloski Scholarship to help support their continued education. Named in honor of our founder, Len Szumiloski, the scholarship reflects his commitment to the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People.”
More details for 2027 Scholarships will be available in January.
