The Southeastern Credit Union Foundation (SECUF) awards professional development grants throughout the year for credit union CEOs, employees, board members and supervisory committee members to attend the League of Southeastern Credit Unions & Affiliates (LSCU) and Credit Union National Association (America's Credit Unions) educational events.

The professional development grants program is designed for smaller asset size credit unions and credit unions with financial hardships. The grants not only cover tuition or registration fee but may also cover a portion of travel costs. Professional development grants are awarded to individuals who best exemplify the credit union philosophy, and whose attendance at approved programs would be beneficial in the perpetuation of credit union goals and ideas.

Professional development grant requests must be received at least 30 days before the event. Credit unions receiving SAS (Small Asset Size) funds must exhaust those funds before they able to receive professional development grant awards..
