Ken Bauman Memorial Scholarship

At Modesto’s First Federal Credit Union, we strive to make a meaningful impact on our community, not only through the financial products and services we offer but also by giving back to others. We are a financial cooperative, so we exist for the benefit of our members, not shareholders seeking a profit. Plus, we live here, work here, and only operate here in Modesto. We are local and we understand this community.

We are committed to our members and the community we serve. With that in mind, we are excited to offer a $250 scholarship to Modesto Junior College. With the spirit of giving back, and making an impact, we’d like to hear from you. How do you give back to the community? What local organizations have you volunteered your time for? What drives you to give back in this way?

Please complete all sections of the Scholarship Application and return it to us at the address on the form (there is also an email or fax option). If you are selected as our recipient, you will be contacted by phone. Scholarships are awarded at our Annual Shareholder Meeting. If you have any questions, please give us a call at (866) 473-8959.

All applications are accepted at any time. Apply now!
