Scholarship Draw

Each year, St. Canice’s Credit Union proudly awards scholarships to students within our common bond through a lottery draw.

This initiative reflects our commitment to supporting and engaging with our young members, providing them with valuable opportunities to further their education and achieve their goals.

We believe in investing in the future of our community, and our scholarship program is just one of the many ways we demonstrate this dedication. The Scholarship Draw is not based on academic results, it is a lottery, and the winners will be selected at random.
