SALT LAKE CITY– Chartway Credit Union has announced a sponsorship of Salt Lake Community College (SLCC), “deepening its commitment to financial education, inclusion, and community development in Utah.”
Through this one-year commitment, Chartway will provide $30,000 in funding to support SLCC’s English as a Second Language (ESL) scholarships and the Center of Latin American Studies (CLAS).
The sponsorship includes $10,000 in scholarship support for ESL students who demonstrate financial need and $20,000 in unrestricted funds to advance CLAS programming, which fosters academic and cultural connections between SLCC and Latin American institutions.
“Chartway is honored to support SLCC’s mission to unlock opportunity and empower students from diverse backgrounds,” Nick Whiting, Chartway senior vice president of Utah, said in a statement. “This sponsorship reflects our shared values of inclusion, education, and community. We’re especially proud to help ESL students thrive, many of whom are building new lives and careers in Utah. Together, we’re investing in the future of our communities.”
As part of the sponsorship, Chartway will be recognized at key SLCC events and will participate in summer festivals and community outreach initiatives, helping connect students and families with financial resources and support.
The ESL scholarships will provide up to $600 per student to help cover tuition and fees for courses not eligible for traditional financial aid. Recipients are selected through a committee-led process based on academic goals and financial need.
