The PRCUA has established the PRCUA Fraternal Scholarship for eligible PRCUA members. Scholarships will be awarded with the purpose of providing financial assistance to students to earn undergraduate, graduate or professional degrees. Scholarships are renewable through the yearly application process. Students may apply each year. However, students may only receive three PRCUA Fraternal Scholarships total during their lifetime. Eligible applicants consist of sophomores, juniors, and seniors enrolled full-time in undergraduate study or those students enrolled in graduate or professional degree programs. Part-time graduate or professional students are eligible. Applicants must be a member of the PRCUA, in good standing, for a minimum of five years, and have a minimum of $5,000 of whole life insurance. Annuity membership does not qualify. If the member does not meet the five year minimum at the time of application, they may also meet one of the two following standings: three years of membership along with an additional $25,000 in life insurance, or four years of membership along with an additional $15,000 in life insurance. All qualified members must also be in good standing. Selection criteria will include, but not be limited to, educational performance, past accomplishments, long range career goals, and extracurricular activities. Aside from the essay question, applicants must also answer the additional interview questions in the application form.
