Scholarship
2025 Statewide College Scholarship Program
TrailNorth Federal Credit Union is excited to announce the details of our Annual Scholarship Program, offered in partnership with the New York Credit Union Association. College-bound high school seniors can win a scholarship between $500-$1,250 through the program. In 2024, we awarded $1,500 in college scholarships to three high school seniors. Additionally, one senior was awarded $500 from the New York Credit Union Association as a Statewide winner and $500 from the Adirondack Chapter of the New York Credit Union Association.
Scholarship winners will be chosen by the New York Credit Union Association.
