SchoolsFirst FCU has partnered with the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) to sponsor the Joan Nelson Award Scholarship. The credit union has granted $7,500 to underwrite the scholarship, which supports those who want to further their education to pursue careers in education management and continue to make an impact through their work. The award is named in honor of Joan Nelson, a former administrator with SDCOE who passed away in 2021 following a successful career as a teacher and administrator.
