PrimeWay Luker Leadership Scholarship 2025

PrimeWay Federal Credit Union wants to make it easier for you to get an education. We are offering one $2,500 Luker Leadership Scholarship to eligible students in the Harris, Fort Bend and Washington counties.

The Luker Leadership Scholarship was created to honor our former Chairman of the Board, Ernest Luker. Mr. Luker made a positive difference for PrimeWay, our membership and our team. Board members are volunteers elected by the membership to serve the membership. We are so excited that Mr. Luker’s legacy will continue through the Luker Leadership Scholarship. This scholarship is focused on finding the future leaders of our community. Special attention is placed on volunteerism, leadership positions and mentoring. This is not just an academic scholarship.
