At Summerland, we see the building and strengthening of our local communities as an integral part our business. Our staff and their families all live and work in the local area, and enjoy being involved in a range of educational, sporting, social and community groups. Similarly, Summerland actively seeks opportunities to be involved with different organisations each year to spread our assistance across a wide cross-section of our community.
We're proud to have been the first industry scholarship provider to Southern Cross University with our Rising Stars Program and are delighted to be able to provide financial and in-kind support to a variety of community groups and events every year.
Helping the environment is important to us, and we're very proud to have a strong set of sustainability values, including making donations to local environmentally-focussed organisations.
Rising Stars Scholarship program with Southern Cross University
As the first Rising Stars Scholarship Sponsor, Summerland Credit Union has had a long association with this program and is pleased to have been able to support young students with their studies. This program is an example of how our credit union, as part of the local community, can continue our commitment to providing real opportunities which will lead to the longer term benefit of our community.
Southern Cross University acknowledges the generous support of Summerland Credit Union as a founding partner in the Rising Stars Scholarships program. Summerland Credit Union has supported scholarships for local students to study at Southern Cross University since 1994. Its ongoing and generous commitment to the scholarship program, to local kids and to the community is warmly recognised.
The scholarship has eased my financial burdens, allowed me to reach new levels in both my study and sporting life and enriched my time as a student at Southern Cross University.
Without the scholarship, I would not be able to dedicate as much of my time to my degree, and for that I am so grateful.
I am eternally grateful and thankful to my donor for providing me with this scholarship over the past 3 years which has helped lessen the burden of the costs of university.
