Scholarships
The Community Choice Foundation embodies the credit union philosophy of people helping people. Since 2009, Community Choice has awarded over $1 Million in scholarships to graduating high school seniors who share our passion for giving. Higher education is one of the most reliable paths to increased opportunity. Through our scholarship program, the Community Choice Foundation empowers local students to achieve their college dreams while remaining in Michigan after graduation. When a student receives our financial support, they are pledging to use their education to Give Big™ in Michigan by living and working here after they graduate.

"During my time in school, I continued to embody the philosophy to 'Give Big'...I traveled to Honduras in April 2018 and joined a team of doctors and opticians in providing free eye care to a low income community for 7 days...I have also served as a volunteer at the Special Olympics of Michigan where I helped perform vision screenings on over 1000 Special Olympics athletes."
