The Arnold C. Paulson Scholarship Fund was established in 1994 to promote the education of the credit union family as exemplified by the distinguished career of Paulson, who was president of the North Dakota League from 1973-1994. The criteria used to determine the winner includes future potential as a credit union leader and contributions to the credit union movement.
