In 2026, Simplicity CU will award 6 $1,000 Post-Secondary Education Scholarships, and here's what we want you to know:
-
One high-school aged scholarship winner will be selected from each of our branch communities: Neillsville, Stevens Point, Neenah, and Marshfield all based on the alignment of your application with our core values (seen below).
Students attending Stratford, Columbus Catholic (Marshfield), Loyal, Pacelli (Stevens Point), and Menasha High Schools are also eligible due to Simplicity CU’s financial education partnerships within those communities!
-
In addition, we will select two additional scholarship winners for nontraditional students (those already in post-secondary programs or non-high school aged), and these students will also be eligible for $1,000 awards.
-
Post-secondary education can include degree programs, trade certifications, and other job skills training. (If you're unsure if your education plans qualify, email us at marketing@simplicity.coop.)
-
Caregivers or families of scholars with physical or cognitive challenges may complete the application on their behalf.
-
Award winners will be chosen based on their commitment to school and community activities, grades, honors or awards, volunteer work, financial need, and other accomplishments.

Leadership
It’s the thing inside of us that draws us to the untraveled path. We go because we know it’s the right thing to do.
Integrity
It’s important to treat people with decency and respect no matter what because, friend, integrity is a CORE VALUE of being a good person.
Cooperation
We make it a priority to form partnerships that make the world a more awesome place with other Co-ops, businesses in our communities, and here on our Credit Union Team.
Dependability
The people we serve and the teams we serve with deserve all of us to take 100% responsibility and give them Zero excuses.
