1: The student applicant must be a member in good standing with FourLeaf Federal Credit Union who:

• Is a college-bound high school senior at the time of submitting the application; and,

2: The applicant must obtain a verification code to ensure that they are a FourLeaf Federal Credit Union member in good standing. The applying student must have a FourLeaf account with their name on it, not a family member. This account may be a joint account or custodial account as long as the student’s name appears on the account. This verification code can be requested by submitting the applicant’s full name and phone number used for membership to ccurran@fourleaffcu.com.

3: The application must be submitted directly online with:

• a high school transcript documenting student’s GPA for grades 9–11; and,
• an essay response.

5: The completed application, transcripts, and essay must be submitted online through the New York Credit Union Association website by the Friday, January 15, 2027 deadline. If any portion is incomplete or missing, the application will not be considered. Additionally, late applications will not be accepted.

6: Scholarship Winners will be announced in late June 2027 – all winning applicants will be receiving an email in June with the names of the ten selected scholarship recipients for the 2027 College Scholarship Program. The minimum scholarship prize per student is a total of $2,500. FourLeaf Federal Credit Union scholarship winner awards are made payable to the recipients’ colleges and mailed out so that students may submit them to the appropriate department of their chosen college for the Fall 2027 semester. Students who receive an award distinction from the NYCUA receive their funds directly from the association in the form of a digital certificate through email.
