Latino Community Credit Union’s scholarship program was created to assist any member of Latino Community Credit Union who seeks to advance their education, either through a technical community college or university for the school year and has been accepted or re-enrolled.  The scholarship submission deadline is coming to an end on May 23 rd , 2018 .  If someone is interested in applying for the scholarship but is not a member of LCCU, they can simply open a savings account with a minimum deposit of $10  that will cover their lifetime membership and maintaining a balance of $10 in order to avoid the monthly fee of $2. If they have an immediate family member who is already a member, they are eligible to apply, but regardless they will have to open their own account.
