Sharonview Federal Credit Union Now Accepting Scholarship Applications

Sharonview FCU and the Carolinas Credit Union to gift over $30,000 in scholarships to recipients

FORT MILL, SOUTH CAROLINA / ACCESS Newswire / October 22, 2025 /The Sharonview Federal Credit Union scholarship portal for the 2026-2027 academic year is now open and will close on February 1, 2026. Sharonview, along with the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation, awarded over $35,000 in scholarships to 14 students this summer for the upcoming school year.

Sharonview 's two scholarships, the Sharonview Cares and the Sharonview Team scholarships, recognize students within the credit union 's vast membership across the Carolinas. Typically, the scholarships have only been awarded to four students; however, with an overwhelming number of qualified applicants in the last two cycles, Sharonview extended their scholarship pool to award more recipients.

"Supporting students ' success is one of the most meaningful ways we live out our values," said Herb White, President and CEO of Sharonview. "Putting our members first means investing in their futures with pride and purpose."

To qualify, an applicant must be a Sharonview member in good standing, possess a 3.0 GPA or higher, and attend/plan to attend an accredited college or university for the 2026-2027 academic year. All applicants will also be considered for a $1,000 scholarship from the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation.

Sharonview began offering scholarships eleven years ago to honor longstanding former board members, Phil Abrams and Paul Paliyenko, who both believed in serving the community as a privilege and responsibility. By providing these recipients with financial aid to pursue their personal and professional goals, Sharonview is reinvesting in its members and our Carolina communities.
