Helping students achieve life
scholarships for high school and college students
In 1998 we created the Donald K. Rhine Scholarship to honor the legacy of Reliant’s founder and first CEO. Each year, we award scholarships of up to $3,000 to high school and college students who exemplify the credit union philosophy, “people helping people.”
