History of Cunningham Scholarship

The Cunningham Scholarship was established in 1993 to honor Frank Price Cunningham and Helen Shipman Cunningham’s long-standing and dedicated service to the credit union for more than 75 years. Since ’93, Firstmark has awarded over $200,000 in scholarships to deserving high school seniors in our community. With these scholarships, Firstmark believes in paying it forward to students who work toward making a positive and meaningful difference in the world.
