NLCU Scholarship Program

The growth of NLCU arises from a committment to work together to make a positive difference - for the financial success of our members, the betterment of our communities, and the well-being of our people.

To encourage and reward those qualities of good citizenship and co-operation, we established two scholarships for students entering post-secondary studies: the Outstanding School and Community Involvement Scholarship and the Owen Grimes Memorial Scholarship. Awarded annually, these scholarships are valued at $3,000 each.

Eligible students must be either members of NLCU or the children of NLCU members.

Fill out the application (print or electronic version) and mail, along with the required information, to NLCU Selection Committee, 240 Water Street, St. John's, NL A1C 1B7.  Call 1-800-563-3300 or email scholarships@nlcu.com.

Submission deadline is September 15th, 2022.
