John D. Unangst Scholarship

The Credit Union will award four $1,500 scholarships to high school seniors who will be attending a full-time course of study at an accredited two or four year college, university, trade or business school. This year (2008), we have increased the award from three to four recipients in honor of our Chairperson Mary O. Kennedy's 30th anniversary with the Credit Union. Applicants, or a member of their immediate family, must be a member of FMFCU.

You or any member of your immediate family, must be a member of the Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union. (Employees/Directors of Franklin Mint Federal Credit Union, their affiliates and their immediate families are not eligible.)

Applicants must submit the following:

• Completed Application

  • One person who has influenced you the most
  • Honors or awards you won while in high school
  • Participation in school or community activities

Your Name, school or school district, must not appear anywhere on or in the body of the essay.

As each essay is received, the application containing the student information will be coded and separated from the essay. A corresponding code will be placed on the essay and given to a committee for judging. The committee is comprised of representatives from the field of education. Essays will be scored based on the following categories:

1. Content
2. Mechanics
3. Style
4. Originality
