MADISON, Wis.-The CUNA Lending Council more than doubled its commitment to the education of lending professionals, raising its scholarship budget from $55,000 to $125,000 for the year.
The council said it made the move in recognition of the economy's impact on travel and education budgets. The increase means a minimum of 50 executives will be able to benefit from lending-related education programs this year. Scholarships are awarded for up to $2,500 and can be used toward expenses for CUNA Lending Council conference registration, CUNA school tuition, CUNA Lending Council annual dues, or additional coursework not offered through the CUNA program.
Only coursework in lending-related subjects are considered applicable for the scholarship program. The deadline for applications is today.
