Members First Credit Union Announces Opening of Memorial Scholarship Program

Members First Credit Union is happy to announce the 2024 launch of its annual scholarship program. Six scholarships totaling $7,500 will be awarded to area students. Applications are now available and will be accepted through April 1, 2024. Winners will be notified on July 1, 2024.

Through this program, Members First honors the memory of three local individuals who served their community in exceptional ways by awarding scholarships named for them. The scholarships recognize John S. Walsh, Manchester firefighter and founder of Members First Credit Union; Wilbur L. Jenkins, the first personnel director for the City of Manchester and credit union supervisory committee member for 34 years; and Manchester Police Officer Michael L. Briggs, who made the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty.

“A primary focus of Members First Credit Union is supporting our community, whether by promoting local nonprofits or investing in the next generation,” said Courtney Fifield, President and CEO of MFCU. “We are pleased to be able to award these scholarships to promising students in honor of exemplary community members who came before them. We look forward to receiving their applications!”.
