Community Scholarship Program
Charter Oak Federal Credit Union is committed to helping the youth in our communities achieve lifelong success by providing financial support to deserving high school seniors and college students attending two or four year accredited institutions of higher education.
Each year, we grant scholarships to well-rounded student members
hailing from
New London and Windham counties who have either excelled
academically, have had a strong involvement in extracurricular
activities, or have made it a priority to give back to their
community.
