HOW
ARE RECIPIENTS SELECTED?
The FIC board members will select the
scholarship recipients in March. The decision of the selection
committee is final and not subject to review. Applications in the
traditional student and in the non-traditional student categories are
judged separately.
Scholarship winners will be posted on the
FIC website. In addition, the scholarship recipients and their credit
unions will be notified. Non-winners will not be notified.

About the MN FIC Scholarship
Each year the Minnesota Family Involvement
Council offers scholarship money for Minnesota credit union members who
are continuing their education. Any qualifying individual attending a
college or university, graduate or law school, 2- or 4-year program or
community or technical college is eligible. The FIC offers two $1,000
Harvey Bakke Scholarships and numerous $500 scholarships. Funds for the
FIC scholarships are driven by the success of the annual Silent Auction
held in conjunction with the Minnesota Credit Union Network’s Annual
Meeting.
The two $1,000 Harvey Bakke Scholarships were named in honor of a
long-time Minnesota Family Involvement Council member, Harvey Bakke.
Harvey served on the FIC Board for 12 years. His dedication to the
credit union community was extraordinary. A board member for the Red
Lake Co-op FCU in Red Lake Falls, MN, Harvey gave his time, knowledge
and support not only to the board of his credit union but to the FIC as
well.
