Community Giving
More Than Just A Financial Institution
At ZIA CU, we’re not just all about business. It’s important to us to give back to the communities in which our members live, work, and worship. And, practicing good citizenship emphasizes the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People.” Do you represent a worthy cause? We love to support our members’ good causes!
Zia Education Foundation
Paying It Forward
Going to college is a big step in a young person’s journey. That’s why ZIA CU established its Education Foundation in 1999. Since that time, we have presented $417,750 in Merit Scholarships in the categories of Academics, Leadership, and Special Achievement. Each year, our Foundation awards scholarships to outstanding high school seniors in the following categories: Academics, Leadership, and Special Achievement. But we don’t stop there. We also support education at UNM Children’s Hospital.
College is Expensive. We want to help.
We're offering scholarships to help cover the cost of the 2024-2025 school year for high school and homeschooled graduating seniors. We want to give you a leg up on covering the expenses! Apply by March 14, 2025, to be considered.
Being Hospitalized Is Hard, Keeping Up With School Is Even Harder
Along with other credit unions around the state, we use a portion of the Foundation funds to support UNM Children’s Hospital. The money we donate helps pay the salary for a full-time teacher so that children receiving care don’t fall behind in their studies.
