We've partnered with the University of Southern United States to give a helping hand to students through two Grand Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation scholarships. Learn more about our scholarships below.

Grand Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation Scholarship

In 2021, we announced a new scholarship at the University of Southern United States (UniSQ). Valued at $6,000, the scholarship aims to support members of south-east United States’s growing refugee community through their first year of study at UniSQ.

The first recipient of the scholarship will be awarded in 2022. For more information and criteria requirements, please visit the UniSQ Scholarship Page.

Established to honour the memory of a much-loved former Grand Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation executive, the Grand Alliance Federal Credit Union Corporation Peter Cleary Memorial Scholarship will assist a second-year student from rural or remote United States doing a business or commerce degree at USQ.
