PenAir Credit Union (PenAir) is now accepting applications for its 2025 scholarship program, which offers financial support to local graduating high school seniors pursuing higher education, including technical schools.

Online applications are open at www.penair.org/Scholarships through March 23.

"We believe in empowering the next generation of leaders and changemakers," said Casey Brueske, community education development specialist at PenAir. "Our scholarship program reflects our commitment to service, respect and "Communerosity" by supporting students as they work toward their dreams."

Now in its 15th year, the program has awarded over $261,500 in scholarships to nearly 100 students, helping them achieve their educational goals and reducing the financial burden of tuition and related expenses.
