The Floridant/10313425

MIAMI - Floridant -- Educational Federal Credit Union (EdFed) is set to open a new branch on the North Campus of Miami Dade College (MDC) on August 22. The location will mark the debut of EdFed's collegiate branch model, designed specifically to support the financial empowerment of college students through the delivery of financial services and education, scholarship programs, and career development opportunities.

EdFed has served MDC since the College opened for classes in 1960. In recent years, the Credit Union has expanded its support to MDC with the installation of EdFed ATMs on all campuses, financial education workshops for students, and a monthly $1,500 College Dreams Scholarship that is exclusively awarded to MDC students to help further their academic and professional goals.

"We are incredibly proud of our partnership with Miami Dade College," said Mike DiBenedetto, EdFed's President and CEO. "The opening of our first collegiate branch at MDC North helps us further our mission of educating and empowering our members to achieve their financial dreams in a very meaningful way for the campus community."
