RALEIGH, N.C. – State Employees’ CU Foundation yesterday announced the renewal of its ‘People Helping People’ program, the largest credit union scholarship program in the nation. The three-year-old program provides a $10,000, four-year college scholarship to a graduating senior form every one of the state’s traditional public high schools and two charter high schools to help pay tuition at school in the University of North Carolina System. The program has already provided $7 million in scholarships since its 2004 inception, and will top $10 million in the latest round. The scholarships are funded solely by SECU members, who have agreed to route their $1 monthly checking fee to the $14 million credit union’s charitable Foundation.
