Scholarship Program

The application period for the 2026 scholarship program has closed. Thank you to all students who applied!

Please check back on December 1, 2026, when our 2027 scholarship program launches. Learn more about our scholarship program below so you’re ready to apply.

We’re excited to offer a great opportunity through our annual scholarship program.

Each year, we typically provide a $3,000 scholarship to a student member in each high school in our membership area. Plus, we make extra scholarships available to our student members who attend schools outside our field of membership.

To qualify, students need at least a 2.5 unweighted GPA. The scholarship funds can be used at any post-secondary institution, whether it’s a college, technical, or trade school, and are intended for expenses during the student’s first year. 

Students must have their own Savings Account with First Financial FCU. (Sorry, Custodial, Health Savings, and special IRA accounts don’t count.) How long you’ve been a member doesn’t matter for the scholarship decision. So, if you’re eligible for membership, join now and apply for the scholarship right away!

Application Requirements:

• Must be a First Financial Federal Credit Union member
• Must be a graduating high school senior
• Plan to attend a post-secondary institution in the fall
• Have a GPA of 2.5 (unweighted) or higher
• Attend a high school in a community that First Financial serves
• School counselor’s email address to request copy of transcript
• List of school and community activities
• Two email addresses for letters of recommendation
• Essay of 300 words or less 

First Financial employees, volunteers, and their family members are ineligible to apply.
