Rudolph Heino People Helping People Scholarship

The Rudolph Heino People Helping People Scholarship is named in honor of the late Rudolph C. Heino. Mr. Heino served as a dedicated Board Member for 28 years and retired as a principal from the Roseville School District, where he served for 32 years. In 2004, MSGCU established a scholarship program to honor his commitment and tenure of service to both the educational and credit union communities. The Rudolph Heino People Helping People Scholarship recognizes high school seniors committed to inspiring others through service and leadership and upholding the credit union philosophy of people helping people.

Students are selected based on a number of criteria, including school and community involvement, academic achievement, and an essay. Starting in 2025, fifteen (15) $2,500 scholarships will be awarded.
