Hi there,

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! It’s officially 2017 and that means it’s Michigan First Scholarship Competition time!

Our Scholarship Competition Opens this Month! Win up to $10,000

It’s officially scholarship time again! Michigan First’s Scholarship Competition opens  Monday, January 9th. We’re giving away up to $85,000 worth of scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $10,000. It’s open to high school seniors and college students. All you need to do is answer the assigned question in the form of an essay or a one-minute video. Don’t let this opportunity slip through the cracks! Time spent upfront  applying for this scholarship could save you years worth of repaying student loans. Apply at YoungFreeMichigan.com on January 9th!

Not A Member? Here’s How to Become One!

Want to apply for the scholarship, but you’re not a member? Here’s an option: our First Gear Account. It’s a great resource for students and young adults like you and me. It offers no monthly fees, Oops Overdraft Forgiveness, mobile banking, and discounted auto loan rates! To open an account, stop by one of our branches.

Cheers to the new year! I’m so excited to see what 2017 has to offer for all of my Young & Free peeps. This year, I’m hitting the ground running and I will be launching a young entrepreneur series called Young Money Makers. If you have a business, or know someone who does – send them my way. I would love to interview them and feature them in my blog!

Happy New Year!

Be Easy,
