VACU's Dorothy J. Hall Scholarship Program
Each year Virginia Credit Union recognizes outstanding student members of all ages through its Dorothy J. Hall Scholarship program. For the 2010-2011 academic year, Virginia Credit Union will award 25 college scholarships up to $2,500.

- be a member of Virginia Credit Union, not just any credit union in Virginia

- be a rising college freshman, sophomore, junior or senior who will be taking at least 9 credit hours per semester
- be pursuing their first degree in an undergraduate or associate's degree program at an accredited college or university
If you are unsure of your membership status, please contact Member Services.
