At Philadelphia Federal Credit Union, we created our Scholarship Program in 2004 because we believe in investing in our young members and the communities we serve. We believe education is the foundation for success, and we recognize six high school seniors every year with scholarships to help pay for college. 

Please keep in mind, PFCU employees, directors, volunteers and their immediate families are ineligible to participate.

The Scholarship Program is offered annually from late Winter-early Spring. The entry period for the 2024 PFCU Scholarship Program is now closed.
