About the frank thach scholarship for educators

The Frank Thach Scholarship supports Georgia educators in continuing their education and pays homage to Georgia United's roots as a teacher's credit union. Frank’s service on the Georgia United Credit Union Board of Directors and Board of Trustees for Georgia's Employees Retirement System inspired the creation of these scholarships in 2024.

I am so grateful for the opportunity that Georgia United Credit Union has given me through the Frank Thach Scholarship. I am in the last semester of my graduate program at Walden University, and this scholarship will be used to help me finish my work toward helping students become more proficient in their abilities to read and write.

As a doctoral student, I no longer receive financial aid, and this last year of my degree is out of pocket. This scholarship from Georgia United Credit Union means the world to me, as it enables me to pay for my classes and complete my degree.

I appreciate the opportunity to continue learning in my field that I have always been so passionate about. Thanks again.

This scholarship will assist me with paying for my last few doctoral courses. I am currently writing my dissertation and finishing my coursework. Over the past three years in my program, I have had to make countless sacrifices to pay for my EdD without taking out student loans. I’m truly so grateful for this scholarship and all of the wonderful things Georgia United does for Dekalb County School District and the Dekalb Community.
