About Scholarship
For the last 5 years, Education Credit Union has offered the Dennis Daub Scholarship, named after Dennis Daub who was the CEO of Education Credit Union for 31 years before he officially retired in 2011. Dennis’ association with the credit union dates back to the year it was formed in 1972, when he worked for the Waterloo Region District School Board and served on the ECU Board of Directors until he assumed the role of General Manager in 1979.
About Company
Education Credit Union (ECU) is a locally-owned, member-operated financial co-operative. We provide full financial services, including a comprehensive Wealth Management program to over 9,500 members who share the principles of democratic ownership. Our primary focus is you – not profits. For that reason we strive to provide lower or no service charges, higher investment rates, competitive loan rates, and the latest in financial products and services.
Our roots can be traced to two Waterloo Region District School Board teachers, Ray Eaton and Gord Gamey, who believed in the long-standing principles held by credit unions: personal service and responsiveness to members’ needs. Through their commitment, the Education Credit Union was formed in 1972.
