Synergy Shares Scholarship

“Strong communities build strong people; Strong people become great leaders; Great leaders build stronger communities.” This is a quote that our CEO Glenn Stang will often say. And we believe in it. We are committed to supporting our members to help build them up into great leaders. Our scholarship support is one of many ways we help to do that.

Synergy Shares Program

We’re proud to be a local financial institution that is deeply invested in the communities we serve. One of the ways we show this commitment is by sharing our profits with projects and make life better where we live.

Synergy Shares Program
ENGAGE. COLLABORATE. GROW.

We support local businesses from main street retail to large enterprises and agricultural operations of all sizes. We recognize that it’s people like you at the centre of everything that makes our communities work, so we want to have a positive impact on where you live. That’s why we give back a percentage of our pre-tax profits each year to local community organizations through our Synergy Shares program.

SYNERGY SHARES
HIGH SCHOOL AND COLLEGE
Scholarship

An additional part of our Synergy Shares Scholarship program is our commitment to an annual scholarship fund that helps local high school and college students further their education at a college, university or technical school.

To apply for a scholarship through this fund, you are encouraged to connect with your school's guidance counsellor.

The scholarship will be announced at each high school’s award event or graduation ceremony. If you’re chosen, we’ll send you the funds when we receive confirmation of your full-time enrolment. If you choose not to attend post-secondary school full-time within one year of the award, the scholarship will be forfeited.

If you attend high school or college in a participating community, you can apply to receive one of these annual scholarships through the school. The Selection Committee chooses the scholarship recipients based on:

  • academic achievement
  • school and community involvement
  • leadership responsibilities within the school community
  • personal qualities consistent with good citizenship

Synergy Credit Union scholarships are available through the following:

  • Hillmond Central School
  • Kindersley Great Plains College
  • Kindersley Composite School
  • Lashburn High School
  • Lloydminster Lakeland College
  • Lloydminster Comprehensive High School
  • Lloydminster Holy Rosary High School
