Alberta Central supports the educational pursuits of the children of Alberta Central, CUPS, Celero, and Alberta credit union employees and directors through its annual scholarship program.
Twenty-five strong applications were received in 2019 and evaluated on specific requirements, including a written essay and a letter of endorsement.
