Northland Area Federal Credit Union is accepting applications for 2020 Jerry Erickson Educational Scholarships beginning Jan. 20. Northland student members have the opportunity to earn awards to use for college expenses.

“Our commitment to financial education begins with our members,” said Deanna Reeves, vice president of member service. “Northland is honored to recognize those who plan, study, and sacrifice to earn college degrees.”

The scholarship program is named for the late Jerry Erickson, who served as a volunteer at the credit union for 46 years. Scholarship applications are decided with equal importance placed on academic achievement, community service/involvement, and essay content.
