In 2000, the Lisbon Credit Union developed a Scholarship Fund to help our graduating seniors realize their dreams. Later that year, one of our original founders, Rochel Livernois, passed away. Mr. Livernois served as Treasurer/Manager from the Credit Union's beginning in 1959 through 1985. The scholarship fund was renamed to honor his years of service and dedication.

Each year, the Credit Union awards three $500 scholarships to local high school graduates. The scholarships are awarded based on academic achievements as well as community involvement. Scholarship dollars are paid directly to the schools after completion of their first semester.

To be eligible to apply for the scholarship program, a student must:

1. Be a graduating senior

2. Be a Member of our Credit Union or a child of a Member

3. Have a High School GPA of 2.50 or higher

4. Be accepted to a 2 or 4 year accredited post secondary school

5. Studies must begin within 1 year of the award

Applications are available online, at the Credit Union, or at the guidance office of local high schools by February of each year.

The Lisbon Community Federal Credit Union realizes the importance of education and would like to assist three seniors each year in achieving their academic goals. We encourage all qualifying seniors to apply. If you have any questions, please contact the Credit Union at (207) 353-4144 or toll-free at (877) 353-4144.
