Helping Students

At First Commerce, we realize The Power of You! That’s why we created the MyWay Scholarship, which has been recognized as a national award-winning program. We build bright financial futures by offering members ages 17-29 an opportunity to win a $1,000 scholarship. You must have a SmartStart Teen, MyWay, or Power Checking account to qualify.
Awarded scholarships are paid directly to the student’s institution of higher learning and may be used toward school expenses including tuition, fees, and books.
2023 applications are closed. 2024 applications will open in February 2024.
