OnPoint Community Credit Union Awards $40,000 in Scholarships to Six Outstanding OSAA Seniors

OnPoint Community Credit Union and the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) announced recently that six graduating Oregon high school seniors will receive scholarships totaling $40,000 through the OnPoint Community Credit Union Scholar Program. Since launching in 2019, OnPoint and the OSAA have awarded more than $180,000 to support the post-graduation goals of 43 students across Oregon.

“These six students represent the very best of Oregon, demonstrating excellence not only in the classroom and athletic competition, but through leadership, perseverance, and service,” said Rob Stuart, President and CEO of OnPoint Community Credit Union. “We are proud to support their next steps and look forward to seeing the impact they will make in their communities and beyond.”

The OnPoint Scholar Program honors graduating students from OSAA member schools who have earned a 3.50 and above unweighted grade point average (GPA) and have either earned a varsity letter in an OSAA-sanctioned sport or competed in an OSAA-sanctioned activity. The program awards two $10,000 scholarships and four $5,000 scholarships.
