Peach State is excited to announce the availability of more than $167,000 in scholarships! Click on the title of the scholarship to learn about eligibility, download an application and apply.
Please note that the deadline to apply has been extended to Friday, March 12th.
Career Advancement Scholarships honor Peach State’s founders, educators in Gwinnett County. These were created out of respect for those roots in education and recognize the importance of education as a lifelong experience. These scholarships will be awarded to eligible members of our credit union.
Legacy Student Scholarships were created to honor the credit union’s Board members and employees who have served Peach State for 20 years or more. They will be awarded to seniors in high school who are pursuing a college degree.
Important Update: We are aware that many colleges are waiving SAT and ACT scores due to the current COVID pandemic. In light of this situation, we have decided that we will also waive this requirement for all of our student scholarships. This includes the five Legacy Student Scholarships as well as the School System & Community Honoree Scholarships. Students will not need to include a copy of these scores when submitting their applications.
School System & Community Honoree Scholarships have been created to recognize past credit union volunteers as well as citizens in our service area for their contributions to the credit union movement and the community.
