The GCUEA Board of Directors understands the challenges of small CUs. Many small CU Executives wear many hats and find it difficult to stay informed about industry trends. As an organization, GCUEA is committed to support small CUs, keeping them viable and thriving.
Each year, GCUEA awards up to four scholarships per year to small CUs under $50 million in assets to help offset meeting/lodging expenses. The Scholarship Form can be submitted to the GCUEA Board Secretary. In order to provide scholarships for all those who need them, we ask that a CU Executive only apply for a scholarship once a calendar year.
