Memorial Scholarships
The CrossState Leadership School scholarships were established in 1972 to perpetuate the memory of all past Association Boards of Directors. Memorial Scholarships are awarded annually to deserving credit union professionals of a member credit union who wish to attend the CrossState Leadership School (formerly Judge/Bradley). The recipient receives tuition and lodging that must be used to attend the school in the year in which it is awarded, and the recipient is required to fulfill the project requirements between the first and second year. The applicants are eligible to win this scholarship up to two times.
