Did you know that as a member of the Ontario Credit Union Foundation (OCUF), your credit union can offer the CU Succeed Youth Bursary to your membership? This bursary provides critical financial support to students who demonstrate outstanding community involvement and face financial barriers to post-secondary education.
“This program is one of the most tangible ways credit unions can show their commitment to community. It’s not just about financial support—it’s about recognizing young changemakers and helping them reach their potential.”
— Randy M., OCUF Board Chair
Make the Bursary Your Own
As a participating credit union, you can brand the CU Succeed Youth Bursary as your own—helping your members while reinforcing your commitment to youth and community development. We provide all the materials you need to promote it, and you can customize them with your own branding.
Amplify Your Impact
Your credit union can go even further by becoming a Bursary Booster or joining our peer-to-peer campaign to raise additional funds. These initiatives help grow the bursary pool, allowing us to support even more deserving students. It’s an easy way to showcase your credit union’s dedication to financial well-being and education while engaging your community.
Applications Open Now – Don’t Miss Out!

“I’ve seen firsthand how the bursary transforms lives. It’s not just about access to education—it’s about hope, confidence, and a sense of belonging within our credit union communities.”
— Rea V., OCUF Executive Director, 4 time bursary recipient
