Scholarship Programs

Did you know that the average student loan debt at graduation is over $31,000? And graduates who have been out of school for years often owe more than new graduates, due to interest rates.1

As part of its commitment to higher education, the Wings Financial Foundation proudly awards 11 scholarships totaling $30,000 to outstanding Undergrad and Post-Grad members who plan to attend an accredited college, university, or post-secondary technical school.

Please visit our website in November 2022 for upcoming announcements regarding the 2023-2024 scholarship program.
