November 2023 Community Events

November is here and brings along plenty of events and opportunities for community members to get involved with us!

Harry Awdish Memorial Student Scholarship Now Open for Applications!

 The credit union movement was founded on the philosophy of “People Helping People”. In keeping with our philosophy, Dort Financial Credit Union’s student scholarship program was established to help our members achieve their higher educational goals. We are offering fifteen (15) $2,000 scholarships this year to graduating high school seniors or older students seeking to further their education after high school. Applications will be accepted until March 1, 2024. To learn more, and apply, please visit our website.

Help Us Raise Funds During our Annual Snowman Sales in Branches Now!

Snowman Sales have benefited many worthy local charities in previous years thanks to our very generous members! In 2022, members donated more than $19,000.00 for the Care House of Oakland County and the Food Bank of Eastern Michigan.
This year we will be raising funds for LACADA of Lapeer and the Rainbow Connection of Oakland County. You can help make a difference by supporting the Snowman Sales and making a monetary donation the next time you visit a Dort Financial Credit Union location.
