The Altra Foundation Community Service Scholarship is awarded to those that have demonstrated a history of community service to help build a stronger community.

Altra Federal Credit Union has a strong partnership with the Holmen High School Marketing and Business department. Throughout each school year, employees are invited to be guest speakers in the classrooms, collaborate on marketing projects, and work closely with the DECA group. As part of this partnership, the Foundation created the Holmen High School Marketing & Business scholarship to award students that have an interest in continuing their education in Marketing or Business.
