Arbor Financial Credit Union is dedicated to our membership and the community we serve. Since 1935, your credit union has been empowering members to help them grow and achieve their financial goals. We began our scholarship program in 1999 and have awarded $592,000 to students in our community throughout the years.
This year, ten high school seniors were awarded $2,000 from the Arbor Financial Scholarship based in large part upon an essay they submitted for the topic, "Consider a pivotal moment from your high school journey and describe how it has influenced your personal growth and readiness for the next phase of your life."
