Granite City, Ill., January 8, 2026 – Scott Credit Union has announced the recipients of its 2025 “With You” Grant Program, recognizing two schools from the Granite City Community Unit School District #9 for their dedication to student success. 

Granite City High School and Grigsby Elementary School were recognized for their commitment to student success. The nominations were submitted by Denise Albrecht, a math teacher at GCHS and Marisela Luna, an ELL teacher at Grigsby and Maryville Elementary School.

  • Granite City High School – Upgrades survey equipment to support hands-on geometry and applied math learning. 
  • Grigsby Elementary School – Provides translate live devices to strengthen real-time communication with Spanish-speaking families.

This year, the Foundation received 132 With You Grants submissions. The 57 winning  projects were selected by a volunteer committee and evaluated based on project need, student impact, and clarity of the proposal. All applications were kept anonymous during  the review process. 

Since launching in 2020, the Foundation has now invested more than $507,000 in classroom and school initiatives, making the With You Grants Program a key part of its mission to strengthen education and uplift the communities Scott Credit Union serves. 

The With You Grants Program is funded through the Foundation’s annual golf scramble and a percentage of purchases made by members using their SCU debit cards. These dollars are reinvested directly back into local schools to support projects that enhance learning environments, improve inclusion, and meet essential student needs.
