SEFCU’s commitment to education starts with our youngest members. In 2008 the credit union presented $13,000 in scholarships to SEFCU members in the Capital Region, Binghamton, Buffalo and Syracuse to help alleviate some of the financial burden higher education places on families.
Each year SEFCU, in conjunction with the New York State Credit Union League, offers $1,000 awards to college-bound students.

• SEFCU members who are seniors in high school
• Students planning to attend an accredited two or four-year college
