Scholarships
As a strong proponent of education, Mountain America awards six educational scholarships each year.
Three, $1,000 scholarships are presented each March through one of Mountain America’s Select Employer Groups, Utah Public Employees’ Association (UPEA).
Mountain America also awards three scholarships, totaling $6,000, to members or their dependents who are pursuing higher education.
These three scholarships pay tribute to our former Vice President of Human Resources and Administration, Paul R. Ball, who died tragically in an automobile accident in 1992.
Swing for the Kids Challenge
Mountain America instituted the annual Swing for the Kids Challenge golf tournament fundraiser more than ten years ago.
This program has raised almost $2,000,000 for Primary Children’s Hospital Foundation to assist children and families in need.
Countless lives have been touched through this tournament, generous credit union contributions and our many business partners.
