Teachers Are at the Heart of CUTX

At Credit Union of Texas, teachers have always been at the heart of who we are. In fact, CUTX was founded by teachers back in 1931. To celebrate the grand opening of our new branch in the Lindale community, we’re honoring that legacy with a special initiative just for educators. 

Through our new CUTX Loves Lindale Teachers initiative, we’re providing grants, bonuses, and exclusive perks designed to support the classrooms, campuses, and teachers who make a difference in our community every day.

We’re awarding 15 Classroom Impact Grants of $1,000 each to help local teachers bring their ideas to life. Apply today and tell us how you'd use your grant money for your classroom!

In addition, CUTX will award a $10,000 Campus Grant to the Lindale school with the highest percentage of teachers who are CUTX members. So, encourage your fellow educators to join CUTX! See some of our special teacher perks below!
