Mountain America Credit Union believes that education and training provide the pathway to long-term success. That is why each year, Mountain America offers opportunities to help members accomplish their educational goals.

Nationally, about two-thirds of college graduates have accumulated student loan debt, and on average, that debt totals a whopping $30,000. For a new college graduate, a monthly school loan payment can be financially overwhelming. Before taking out loans to pay for college, consider researching all available scholarships and grants.

Mountain America offers several scholarship opportunities, including the Mountain America Scholarships, to support members pursuing college or vocational training. This year, we’ve extended our deadline for the Mountain America Scholarships to May 15, 2020. This program awards $2,000 each to three winners in the fields of Technology and Trade, Community and Social Service, and Finance.
