“Supporting students has always been at the heart of who we are,” said Chelsea McKenzie, Community Impact Leader at Members First Credit Union. “Founded 90 years ago by educators, we carry that legacy forward by investing in individuals who are driven to learn, grow, and give back. These four students truly embody that spirit, and we’re proud to support them as they take the next step in their journey.”

The M1 Scholarship Program is funded through the Swinging for Scholarships Golf Outing, a 28-year tradition that brings members, businesses, and the community together to support the next generation of leaders. The 2026 outing will be held on July 22, and there is still time to sign up as a golfer or sponsor to support this impactful cause.
