About the BECU Scholarship Program: The BECU Foundation Scholarship exemplifies BECU’s basic value of people helping others. Every year, this grant allows us to recognise and honour people who volunteer their time to help others while also pursuing postsecondary education.
The BECU Foundation seeks member candidates who reflect the people-helping-people attitude by actively giving back to their community, whether via volunteering or other meaningful contributions of time, effort, and concern. If this describes you, we invite you to apply.ScholarshipBoard
