Roush Scholarship
We support the academic success of tomorrow's leaders
The Howard Roush Memorial Scholarship symbolizes our learning-driven culture and emphasis on growth, development and financial education. Abound Credit Union supports students everywhere we have branches.
High school seniors who are Abound Members can apply for scholarships
It's a major achievement to get good grades. It's a big challenge to cover college costs. Our goal at Abound Credit Union is to award academic achievement and ease the financial burden on students and their families.
