BECU student scholarship deadline is Feb. 28

The BECU Foundation is currently accepting applications for its annual scholarships.

This year, The BECU Foundation is recognizing and awarding $2,500 scholarships to full-time high school seniors and undergraduates currently enrolled in an accredited two-year, four-year, or technical college or university, who have a passion for helping others.

A few additional facts include:

• This year, each awarded scholarship is renewable for two years ($5,000 total). With the help of our business partners, member donations, and fundraising activities, we award a minimum of 25 scholarships each year.
• In 2017, 80 BECU student members were awarded with $3,000 scholarships, recognizing the student’s service in their school or community, leadership potential and academic achievements.
• Since the foundation started, BECU has given more than $2 million in scholarships to more than 900 students.
• Volunteer activities have included science interpretation for the Pacific Science Center, mentoring elementary students, and providing food to homeless youth, to name a few.
