Even though the school year ended differently than expected, VLFCU remained committed to our annual scholarship program. Since 1996, we have recognized and honored student members who have demonstrated strong leadership qualities and active involvement in their schools and communities. This year we made arrangements with the families of the winners to surprise them at home or at one of our branches. We had a great time awarding six $1,000 scholarships to the following 2020 graduates.

The Stuff the Bus Committee of Erie County, in partnership with all Erie County Local School Districts, is collaborating to collect and distribute school supplies for the 2021/2022 school year. It is our goal this fall to assist as many students as possible whose families may be financially burdened by the cost of school supplies.  New this year, we are expanding the program to students in grades K-8.
