About MSGCU Scholarships

Education has been part of our heritage since day one.

Founded by a group of educators in 1954, MSGCU knows the value of lifelong learning and the positive impact it has on career development. This year, we are offering more than $150,000 in scholarships to Michigan residents who are hard-working, high-achieving, and character-driven. If you're a high school grad, a teacher continuing your education, a skilled trades student, or a future first responder, there's an MSGCU scholarship for you.

Apply for a scholarship now through February 27, 2026. Stephen Thomas First Responder Scholarship applications occur directly with local community colleges and are accepted throughout the year. Click the images below to learn more about our scholarship programs.
