MCCU Awards $25,000 in Scholarships to Support Local Student Futures
Marshall Community Credit Union continues its long-standing commitment to youth education by awarding $25,000 in scholarships to local high school seniors during its Annual Meeting on Friday, April 17, 2026.
Ten students were selected to each receive a $2,500 scholarship to support their continued education at an accredited college, university, trade, or technical school. This year’s scholarship program drew strong interest, with 29 applications submitted by students representing 12 different schools.
As part of the application process, students were asked to reflect on lessons they have learned about finances, the importance of service, and the ways they have contributed to their communities. From the competitive pool, ten students stood out for their leadership, community involvement, and commitment to building strong personal and financial futures.
“MCCU is honored to invest in the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers,” said Laura Santos, CCUFC, Community & Youth Engagement Manager. “As MCCU celebrates its 75th Anniversary, it’s especially meaningful to celebrate students who represent the future and their pursuit of additional education. On behalf of our Board of Directors, we congratulate the Class of 2026 scholarship recipients and wish them continued success in all they pursue.”
The 2026 MCCU Scholarship recipients are:
- Jackson Cilla, Coldwater High School
- Olivia Compton, Calhoun Christian School
- Farah Fowler, Olivet High School

- Logan Price, Harper Creek High School
- Andrew Root, Marshall High School

Since the scholarship program began in 2014, Marshall Community Credit Union has awarded $132,000 to students pursuing education beyond high school. The program remains a core part of MCCU’s mission to strengthen the communities it serves by investing in young people and supporting their educational goals.
