You First Foundation Scholarships
Scholarship Sponsored by You First Foundation
The You First Foundation is pleased to support families who’ve been adversely affected by traumatic medical events. Each year, we award deserving students with scholarships up to $6,000. Since beginning this program, we've awarded over $200,000 in scholarships.
The You First Foundation is a charitable organization formed by the employees of First Service Credit Union after the loss of a coworker and beloved friend from a brain aneurysm. The foundation’s mission is to improve the lives and educational opportunities of those affected by traumatic medical events.
