(Michigan City, IN) - Two of Michigan City’s non-profit organizations are teaming up to offer two seniors from Michigan City High School or Marquette Catholic High School $1,000 college scholarships.

 

Members Advantage Credit Union and the Michigan City Exchange Club are joining hands in the endeavor.

 

“As a member of the Members Advantage Credit Union Board of Directors, President of the Exchange Club, as well as a retired Michigan City Fire Fighter, I’m heavily invested in the success of our community.  This scholarship program is an investment in the future leaders of Michigan City, ensuring our community has great leadership in the years to come,” said Jack Van Etten.

In addition to maintaining an overall GPA of 3.00 or higher, applicants must submit a completed application, transcript, and essay of 1,000 words or less on their future goals and what they mean to the community.

 

“Providing a forum for the young people in our community to give input on what they think could make Michigan City a better place to live while also giving them an opportunity to win a scholarship is a win/win,” remarked MACU President Frank Beachnau.

Essays are due by November 15th and will be judged by a panel from MACU Management, the Board of Directors, and a member from MCEC. The two scholarships will be awarded at an MCEC luncheon in early 2022.

 

Students can access applications online at macuonline.org or the MACU office at 3064 South Ohio Street, Michigan City, IN.
