Scholarships

San Mateo Credit Union believes that a higher education is a catalyst for success.  That's why, year after year, the SMCU Education Scholarship helps students with the growing expenses that come along with a college education.  SMCU is proud to offer two $5,000 scholarships to graduating high school seniors to help cover the costs such as tuition, housing, books, and meals. 

The 2021 Educational Scholarship is now closed.  Check back in January when we typically would open next year's scholarship application.

 

Congratulations to this year’s recipients, Caroline Callagy and Dylan Keller!

Caroline Callagy, a senior at Mercy High School, will be attending UC Davis in the fall to major in sociology. After college, Caroline hopes to receive her masters in education and have a career as a special needs teacher. At Mercy, Caroline currently serves as the Student Body President and is involved in a variety of honors societies, including the National Honors Society, the Rho Kappa Honors Society, the National English Honors Society, and the Tri-M Music Honors Society. Caroline is an avid soccer player and hopes to continue her love for the game with intermural  matches at Davis.
