Youth Services/Scholarships
Financial services especially for young adults!
Scholarships – Each year CCU awards a number of scholarships to graduating high school seniors who are continuing their education at a 4-year college or 2-year technical or trade school. Applications and more information about our scholarship is available here.
A-Team - Every quarter we ask any kindergarten through 12th grade student of a public, private or home school who is a CCU member (or the child or grandchild of a member) to submit their report card containing one or more A’s (or equivalent score). A random drawing is then held for 3 – $25 prizes in each of 4 grade groups and, at the end of the year, we draw for a $300 prize! See a list of winners here.
Savings Account – Learning savings habits is the first step in financial accountability. Make regular deposits (no matter how small) and set short-term savings goals to buy a game, concert ticket or even a car.
FREE Checking – No minimum balance requirement and no monthly service fee. Access the account using checks, debit or ATM card, online or mobile app.
FREE Debit Card – You’ll have convenient access to your checking and savings accounts at ATMs around the country to make cash withdrawals and transfers.
