Continuing your education is rewarding, but it can also be exhausting, emotionally and financially.
As your financial solution, Heartland Credit Union can help with the financial aspect.

In addition to offering student (and parent) loans, each year Heartland awards a $1,000 scholarship and two $500 scholarships to Heartland members who are in or have been accepted to an accredited post secondary school, including vocational or technical schools/colleges.

Heartland is proud to announce the winners of our 3rd Annual Scholarship competition.
Applicants were required to complete and submit a questionnaire and essay.

Receiving a $1,000 scholarship is Brad Oberstadt of Inver Grove Heights, MN. In his essay, Brad wrote: “At Heartland Credit Union you are not just a number, you are a person with your own story and financial needs. Heartland recognizes this and has financial opportunities for everyone at every step of their life. From the moment you walk in the door on your first visit, it is like you belong, like family.”

Receiving a $500 scholarship is Cindy Kaine of Farmington, MN. Cindy wrote: "(Heartland) accounts can be managed any time, day or night. You can set all of your payments up on their free bill pay system. It is great! You can customize it to exactly what you need! The new building in Inver Grove Heights is gorgeous, and they have full service banking available, even on Saturdays! Plus, one more bonus is if you happen to work for CHS, they have a branch right in the corporate office. Banking does not get any more convenient than that!”

Also receiving a $500 scholarship is Bill Nownes of Inver Grove Heights, MN. Bill wrote: “I am able to recommend Heartland because it offers better service and benefits. Heartland operates as a non-profit financial institution, chartered to serve member needs. Profits accrue to members rather than stockholder. Board members are volunteers, and Heartland itself is member-owned. As a locally operated credit union, Heartland helps keep money in Dakota County. Heartland's impact on the community is, in my opinion, an important feature of membership.  Heartland membership offers personal financial solutions and helps make Dakota County a better place to work and live."
