Changing lives is a team endeavor, which is why the
Eagle Legacy Foundation has partnered with Eagle
Legacy Credit Union's Board of Directors, its staff,
and its partner organizations and companies in the
community, to work hand in hand to create a positive
change.
Our scholarship program is designed to invest in
education. We all realize a more fiscally
sound life begins with a good education. A college
degree translates into more earning power, enhancing
your ability to secure your dreams of success for
you and your family.
The Foundation's scholarship program offers grant
money to individuals to enable them to pursue a
degree in the field of their choice at an accredited
educational institution.
Each year, in May, grants are awarded to one or more
high school, college or graduate school students.
Scholarships may range from $500 to $10,000 per
recipient, per year. If students continue to meet
qualification guidelines, they can apply for a
renewal.
Recipients are selected on the basis of financial
need; however superior academic achievement and
involvement in curricular, extracurricular and
community activities are also taken into
consideration. Awardees must be candidates for a
degree at a qualifying educational institution.

Our Vision Is Straightforward:
People Helping People...
Our foundation funds scholarships for college and
graduate school students. It also supports
organizations that make a tangible difference in
people's lives through health care programs, foster
care, adoptive and counseling services, mentoring,
food, clothing, shelter and more.

Giving is a personal decision, one that deserves
careful consideration. Whether you donate money or
time, you'll discover that giving often enriches the
giver as much as it does those who receive.
