GEORGE E. MYERS SCHOLARSHIP

Picture

HISTORY


The Defense Credit Union Council established the George E. Myers Scholarship Fund in 1996 in honor of COL George E. Myers, USA (Ret.). Colonel Myers was an Executive Secretary of the Council and selected to the first DCUC Hall of Honor.

​Since 1997, DCUC has awarded 73 scholarships totaling over $218,000.

PURPOSE & ELIGIBILITY


The Fund’s purpose is to provide scholarships for volunteers, management, and/or staff of DCUC member credit unions so they can further their professional credit union education, knowledge and leadership skills.

SUPPORT THE FUND


The proceeds from DCUC's Official White House Christmas Ornament Fundraiser each year is the sole funding for the George E. Myers Scholarship. Please consider supporting the Fund by purchasing ornaments each year.

Ornament sales run from August to early December each year.

SUBMISSION PROCESS


Applications for the 2025 George E. Myers Scholarship are open. The application deadline is January 15, 2025.

Winners will be announced at Defense Matters in Washington, D.C., on March 4, 2025.
