The Foundation is also a long-time supporter of the National Credit Union Foundation (NCUF) and its Biz Kid$ financial literacy program. The Foundation’s 2020 financial literacy efforts also include using a grant from NCUF to develop a Bite of Reality app for use by students participating in Reality Fairs. Bite of Reality kits will be developed for credit unions to use in connection with the app. The Foundation is seeking credit union participants in Indiana for Reality Fair partnerships.
In addition to its professional development scholarships, the Foundation will offer a specific scholarship to cover the majority of expenses for one person to attend the National Credit Union Foundation’s Development Educator Training.
