The committee will recognize an individual in the senior graduating class deserving of an opportunity to attend college and will select recipient(s) without regard to race, sex, color, creed, religious preference, age, national origin or disability. The Scholarship Selection Committee will use the following criteria to award the SECU Foundation People Helping People Scholarship to a recipient who:

The Fight the Flame® CRPS Awareness Scholarship

CRPS is an invisible disease, as are so many others; fibromyalgia, depression, Sjogren's, Interstitial Cystitis, Eating Disorders, etc. Spreading awareness, supporting education and research about Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), is the key to one day finding a cure for this dreadful pain disorder.

Students selected should not be the recipient of other large scholarships.
We require all applicants to follow the formal application process set by the SECU Foundation. All graduating seniors meeting the stated criteria will be eligible for consideration. The criteria have been designed to give the Scholarship Selection Committee flexibility in awarding the scholarship. The committee will recognize an individual in the senior graduating class deserving of an opportunity to attend college and will select recipient(s) without regard to race, sex, color, creed, religious preference, age, national origin or disability. The Scholarship Selection Committee will use the following criteria to award the SECU Foundation People Helping People Scholarship to a recipient who:
1. Is either an SECU member or is eligible for membership through a parent/guardian.
2. Is a senior at a North Carolina public high school who has been accepted to one of the 16 constituent campuses of the University of North Carolina System.

7. Will use the scholarship to pay for full-time undergraduate student tuition and fees.

a. A written appeal for transfer must be made to the SECU Foundation prior to transfer.
b. No transfers will be allowed to a university outside of the UNC System.
c. Any gap in active enrollment will result in non-eligibility for funding for each semester missed.
9. Is not a Board Director, employee, or immediate family member of an employee of State Employees’ Credit Union or the SECU Foundation. (Note: For the purpose of this scholarship program, immediate family is defined as spouse, parents, siblings and children of an employee or persons living in the same residence and maintaining a single economic unit.)

The Fight the Flame® CRPS Awareness Scholarship
The Fight the Flame® CRPS Awareness Scholarship was established to encourage students to educate others about Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). CRPS formally known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD) is a chronic, degenerative, neurological pain disorder. To the outside world, a person with CRPS looks "healthy." People with CRPS push through their pain to survive and succeed in their daily lives. It is difficult for someone battling with CRPS to hear from others who are not aware of the disease, that they look good, so they must not be sick. CRPS is an invisible disease, as are so many others; fibromyalgia, depression, Sjogren's, Interstitial Cystitis, Eating Disorders, etc. Spreading awareness, supporting education and research about Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), is the key to one day finding a cure for this dreadful pain disorder. As part of our advocacy efforts, we are offering one Fight the Flame® CRPS
