Announcing 2025 Scholarship Winners!

This year we had an impressive group of students apply for Maps scholarships from across Marion and Polk counties. They shared their academic achievements, community involvement, and future goals with the selection committee. Video interviews highlighted their inspiring personal stories and how a Maps scholarship would help make their educational dreams a reality.

Maps Credit Union is pleased to be awarding a total of $70,000 in scholarships this year to 19 Mid-Willamette Valley graduating seniors to support the next chapter in their educational journeys. In addition, for the first time, we are excited to be supporting one non-traditional scholarship winner who is going back to school later in life. We are honored to provide a $3,500 scholarship to each of these talented Maps members. You can read more about each of this year’s scholarship recipients below.
