Educator and Student Scholarships. Each year, Firstmark Credit Union awards ten $1,000 Frank Price and Helen Shipman Cunningham scholarships to outstanding high school seniors; ten $500 scholarships for classroom use to elementary, middle, and high school teachers.[8] In 2007, the credit union also contributed $5,000 towards the Northeast Lakeview College Scholarship Fund.[9]

Count Me In. Teen Volunteer Fair. In 2008, Firstmark Credit Union hosted the third-annual Teen Volunteer Fair in tandem with the ServiceNation Day of Action. This event took place simultaneously in 50 states to highlight the importance and potential of volunteer service. Locally more than 500 students attended the event and volunteered almost 1,200 hours on that one day.
