Collaborating with Cougar Country

Washington State University students and alumni benefit from an ongoing BECU partnership, enjoying an enhanced educational experience and perks that benefit the students, faculty, staff and alumni alike.

Budgeting Life Lessons

BECU is the presenting sponsor of Cougar Money Matters. The program pairs financial education with a matched savings program to teach participants about money management in the real world. The program, managed and administered by WSU, also offers emergency aid to students in financial crisis. Additionally, BECU supports the Carson College of Business with financial literacy coursework that helps students learn sound personal finance practices for college and beyond.

BECU Scholars: Washington State University Scholarships

BECU annually provides $2,000 scholarships to 20 (or more) WSU sophomores, juniors and seniors who have demonstrably overcome challenges to attend college or are at risk of non-completion due to financial or other life challenges.

Cougs for Life

Experience WSU: BECU is the proud presenting sponsor of Experience WSU, a signature event welcoming admitted students to campus each spring to get a closer look at the academic programs, on-campus resources and the unique community that awaits them in the fall.
