Celebrating Excellence: $5,000 Scholarship Awarded to Jada Barrow!

Advance Financial Federal Credit Union is proud to announce Jada Barrow as the recipient of our 2025 Scholarship Award, earning a $5,000 scholarship toward her college education.

Jada graduated with an Academic Honors Diploma and an impressive list of accolades. Among them is her membership in the National Honor Society, her standing as AP Scholar, and a recipient of the prestigious National African American Recognition Program honor.

Beyond her academic success, Jada is deeply involved in her community and exemplifies the values of leadership, service, and compassion. Her passion for healthcare and helping others has led her to pursue a degree in biology and pre-medicine with the goal of becoming a neonatologis or pediatric surgeon.

"We are incredibly proud of Jada," said Jan Vamos, Chairperson of the Board. “Her outstanding academic achievements and unwavering dedication in pursuing a career in neonatology reflect the very best of our future generation. She exemplifies the drive, compassion, and excellence that this scholarship was created to support."

At Advance Financial Federal Credit Union, we believe in investing in the dreams and futures of our youth. Jada’s story reminds us that when we support education, we help build a stronger, brighter tomorrow.

Congratulations, Jada—we can’t wait to see all the lives you’ll touch in the future!

Protect Your Credit Union- Say NO to Unfair Taxes!

At Advance Financial, we believe in keeping your money where it belongs—working for you! Credit unions are not-for-profit financial cooperatives that exist to serve their members, not to generate profits for shareholders. But now, there’s a growing threat that could impact the benefits you enjoy as a credit union member: unfair taxation.

Why Should You Care?

Big banks and special interest groups are pushing for credit unions to lose their tax-exempt status. If they succeed, it could lead to:

  • Higher fees for members
  • Reduced loans and savings rates
  • Fewer financial services and community support

Credit unions reinvest earnings into their members and communities, helping families afford homes, small businesses grow, and individuals build financial security. Taxing credit unions would ultimately hurt you—the member-owner.

How You Can Take Action

We need your voice! The Don't Tax My Credit Union initiative, led by the Credit Union National Association (CUNA), is rallying members across the country to stand against this unfair taxation. Click the button below to learn more and take action today.

Your membership makes a difference. Together, we can protect the future of credit unions and ensure they continue to serve local communities—not corporate interests.
