Community
Community is at the center of our credit union mission
Giving back to our great community is part of who we are. We have several year-round initiatives that help support Southeast Texas at large. When you choose Education First FCU, you are choosing a financial institution that pours into our area schools through funding programs and awarding scholarships to graduating seniors annually. We also support area non-profits through volunteering while providing the opportunity for financial support with our grant program.
Credit Union Giving
We don't call ourselves Education First for nothing. Whether donating funds to community organizations, local non-profits and schools or awarding scholarships to graduating seniors, we take pride in helping the people of Southeast Texas thrive.
Sponsorship & Donations
Education First invests in and supports community growth through partnerships with local non-profits, civic and community organizations and schools.
Scholarships
Education is in our name, and we're proud to help high school seniors in our Southeast Texas communities pay for higher education. We award $25,000 in scholarship funds annually because we understand the value of a degree.
Employee Giving
When we work, we pull double shifts. During our workdays, we find ways to support our community, from raising money to getting out in the field. See all the ways our employees work to give back.
Blue Jean Friday Community Grants
Our dedicated employees contribute a small donation from their paychecks every period in exchange for wearing jeans on Fridays. Moreover, we invite local non-profit organizations to apply for these funds annually.
Volunteer Investment Program (VIP)
Our products and services support financial needs, but we value generosity more. Our employees proudly give back to the community, earning the title of VIPs.
