Funding Scholarship Through Unclaimed Capital Credits
Scholarships are uniquely funded by unclaimed capital credits. These unclaimed refunds, which would otherwise become dormant property, now find purpose in supporting our members' youth. These funds are put into an account held in trust by Federated Youth Foundation and have no effect on members' bills.
