In partnership with Civic Local Foundation, LGFCU awards one-year college scholarships to students who are members of LGFCU or Civic Federal Credit Union. For the upcoming scholarship year, members who are graduating high school seniors planning to attend a four-year college or university are eligible to apply for the scholarship. All scholarships are for $5,000, payable in one installment to the school, and may be applied to tuition, textbooks, computers and other fees.
Application requirements
Applicants must be members of LGFCU or Civic with an individual Share Account or joint Share Account with a parent or guardian. UTMA Accounts do not qualify as membership accounts. Applicants also must:
- Have a minimum unweighted GPA of 3.5 or higher
- Be a graduating high school senior
- Plan full-time attendance at a four-year college or university
- Submit official school transcripts
- Include two references as indicated on the application
Scholarship selection process
The Scholarship Selection Committee selects the recipients, who are notified by mid-April.

Other financing methods
There are many college scholarship websites and the College Foundation of North Carolina (CFNC) is one that’s a good resource for information on many college-related topics such as financial aid, grants and scholarships. As a federally chartered credit union, LGFCU cannot participate in CFNC programs.
