High School Scholarship Opportunities!

The Unison Credit Union John Aman Memorial Scholarship awards $2,000 to students who best mirror the credit union philosophy of “people helping people” and who have learned the importance of volunteerism and giving back to his or her community. This scholarship is given in memory of John Aman, Unison’s first CEO who was hired in 1970. Aman’s commitment to the credit union industry and community were evident through his passion for volunteerism and putting the needs of our membership first.

We have also partnered with the Fox Cities Chapter of Credit Unions which will award a $1000 scholarship to three graduating high school seniors who are active members of a credit union, including Unison. For more information or to apply, click here!
