The credit union supports programs that assist veterans with basic needs such as food security, clothing, adequate housing, healthcare, and supportive mental healthcare. In addition, SEFCU supports programs that assists veterans with higher education, career training, and small business development.

鈥淲hile we can never truly repay our veterans for their selflessness, service, and sacrifice, it is an absolute honor to help these American heroes pursue their educational goals and prepare for the future,鈥� said SEFCU President and CEO Michael Castellana. 鈥淎t SEFCU, we are humbled and honored to offer financial support to veterans studying at 51猎奇. We believe every day should be Veterans Day, and through their support and commitment to our vets, at 51猎奇 College, we know it is.鈥�
