Applications for the USA Federal Credit Union’s 2007 Martin P. Cassell Scholarship program now are available.

This year, five $1,500 scholarships will be awarded, according to a USA Federal Credit Union news release. In 2006, the credit union gave out $7,500 in scholarships, including two for $1,500 each to winners at Misawa Air Base, Japan.

The scholarships are named after USA Federal’s former CEO, who died in a car crash in 2000.

Applicants must be college-bound seniors and either a member or the child of a member of USA Federal Credit Union for a year before March 15. Recipients will be notified by the end of the school year.
