A recent donation of more than $21,000 has brought Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union‘s endowment with Lone Star College Foundation to $25,000. The funding will provide scholarships for Lone Star College-CyFair students.
“Lone Star College-CyFair students have benefited from strong community partnerships since our doors first opened,” said Valerie Jones, Ed.D., LSC-CyFair president. “This generous donation will open those doors even wider for students in our community to realize their dreams.”
Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union’s connection to education dates back to 1956 when a group of 10 educators founded the organization. Supporting local schools has been part of the story ever since. Today, the credit union provides scholarships to local high school students; gives away classroom makeovers, mortgage payments and cars for local teachers; and donates to high school booster clubs through its School Spirit Debit Card program.
The Falcon Debit Card helps raise funds for LSC-CyFair scholarships at no additional cost to users. Proceeds generated from purchases of $5 or more go directly to LSC Foundation.
“Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union has a long history of investing in education and in Lone Star College, so it is especially meaningful to see our first collegiate spirit card partnership now generate an endowed scholarship that will benefit students for years to come,” said Cameron Dickey, Cy-Fair Federal Credit Union president and CEO. “What makes the Falcon debit card program so special is its simplicity: everyday purchases become an investment in someone’s education. We have seen the tremendous impact this model can have through our school spirit card program, and we are proud that it is supporting the aspirations of Lone Star College-CyFair students. This $25,000 endowment represents more than financial assistance—it is a sustainable way for the community to help open doors, create opportunity and invest in the success of future generations.”
In addition to scholarships, LSC Foundation provides emergency aid relief, meal vouchers, textbook funds and other forms of financial assistance. Learn more about partnering with LSC Foundation at LoneStar.edu/Giving.
