The Annual Scholarship Program

For over 20 years, DCU, through DCU for Kids, has provided a scholarship program designed to assist students in the pursuit of a higher education with approximately $1.7 million in scholarships being awarded.

In 2022, DCU for Kids awarded 120 scholarships to graduating high school seniors.

Recipients were chosen by an impartial panel of college educators who base their decisions on scholastic achievement, community involvement, leadership skills, character and integrity, recommendation letters, as well as an essay submitted by the student.

The Annual Scholarship Program will begin to accept applications starting in December of 2022 for the 2023 application process. Please visit this page in mid-November for Official Rules and FAQ’s.
