FREE MONEY RIGHT THIS WAY... NO REALLY!

If it’s free it’s for me. I am all about the freebies! I remember growing up and hearing “there is no such thing as free” well, all those adults were wrong! There are tons of free things in life. Free Birthday desserts, free cell phone applications and even free money. Yup, I said it, FREE money.

It’s scholarship time…

And that means FREE money to YOU! Tropical Financial Credit Union, is doing it once again, their annual college scholarship program. I am super excited to announce that this year we will be giving away $5,000 in college scholarships. Yeah, that’s a lot of money!

How does it work?

This year we decided to change some things up. There will be nine scholarship for NEW college freshman and one scholarship for a student continuing their college education. Each student will be given $1,000 in scholarship funds. Yeah! Who doesn’t love FREE money?

Plus, as we get closer to the start of the school year, I will share ways for you to make the most of that $1,000 including discounted books, how to deck out your dorm room on a budget and having fun while saving money. Yes, it’s possible. I mean, I did it! But enough about that.

How to enter?

Entering is super easy. Simply come into any TFCU branch and open up a GenNext Checking account, or open up an account on-line. Once you’ve opened up that account, pick up or print out a scholarship application. Next, be sure to answer what you love about TFCU and don’t forget to supply your SAT or ACT scores and your transcripts.

Submitting is just as easy

Once you’ve completed your scholarship application and gather your additional paperwork, either mail the application to our headquarters or simply drop it by any of our branches. The deadline to submit applications is 5:00 PM April 29^th

Be sure to get your applications in early so you don’t forget… It’s could be a FREE $1,000 in YOUR pocket to use for school expenses!

Good luck!
