Edward J Cialella was a longtime President of our Board of Directors and a pillar of the local Chapter of Credit Unions. He was committed to the success of not only our credit union, but the credit union movement as well. He was obsessed with the idea that education was the key to adding skills to unlock a person’s future. He felt that the future of the credit union movement lied in the children we already had as members.
As such, he was passionate about starting a scholarship opportunity to assist young men and women in their pursuit of post-high school training or education. Upon his passing, the Board of Directors have continued on this great tradition of honoring his memory and his wishes with this Scholarship.
Completed application and essay are due to any of the credit union offices by April 10, 2020.
If more convenient you can e-mail the documents to members@firstchoicefcu.com or mail them to First Choice Federal Credit Union – Memorial Scholarship Application – 2209 W. State Street, New Castle, PA 16101
The winners will be contacted by May 15, 2020. There is another scholarship opportunity with the same question presented by the Shenango Valley Chapter of Scholarships. With the same essay you can apply for both. Simply pick up an application at any of our offices.
We are proud to support the education of our future – the youth of our credit unions. So many of you have supported our efforts to raise money for this worthwhile cause and we are so grateful for your contributions.
