WCTA scholarships WCTA Federal Credit Union will offer three college scholarship programs this year. Its own Donald K. Rhine College Scholarship will award several $1,500 scholarships to students of any age who are enrolled either full for the 2006-2007 school year in an accredited college or university program. Recipients will be selected based on their demonstration of the credit union philosophy of people helping people as well as their academic performance, employment history, essay responses, and references. Qualifying applications must be postmarked no later than March 31. Two other programs are available to high school credit union members enrolled full-time in an accredited college or university program during the 2006-2007 academic year. The NYS Credit Union League Inc. and its affiliates will award several $1,000 and $500 scholarships to high school seniors in New York State and the Rochester District of the New York State Credit Union League will award nine $1000 scholarships to high school seniors or any credit union member attending college for the first time in 2006. Recipients of both these scholarships will be chosen based upon written essays, academic performance, extracurricular/community activities, references, and stated personal goals. Deadlines for these applications are January 27, and February 10. Applicants for each scholarship must be WCTA members. Additional information available at wctafcu.com. Applications are available at any WCTA branch or by calling 800.724.9282. Education and WCTA have been hand-in-hand since the Wayne-County-based credit union was founded in 1970, by then teacher Donald K. Rhine. Originally formed to provide low cost financial services for the employees of local school districts, WCTA is now a community credit union open to all those who live, work, volunteer, attend school, or worship in Wayne, Ontario, or Monroe counties. It is a $230 million dollar cooperative financial institution serving over 33,000 members. Copyright
