Each year, ten recipients are awarded a renewable $2,000 scholarship, totaling up to $8,000 over four years.
Of these scholarships, eight are merit-based, one is need-based, and one is designated for a future teacher.

Arkills, President and CEO of Silver State Schools Credit Union. "The POP Foundation Scholarship Program reflects our dedication to fostering success, inspiring community involvement, and easing the financial burden of higher education for Nevada’s brightest students."
The scholarship program is available to SSSCU members graduating from an accredited high school in Nevada in 2025.
