We are thrilled to share the exciting news about the 2024 Town & Country Credit Union Scholarship winners. This year, we had the pleasure of awarding ten exceptional students from our community a $1,000 scholarship each to support their educational endeavors this fall. It's an honor to celebrate the third year of our scholarship program, which continues to embody our commitment to fostering the growth and development of young minds.
To be eligible, high school seniors who are credit union members are invited to submit an essay answering the question, "How do you plan to make a positive impact in your desired career field?" A group of Town & Country Credit Union employees reviewed and scored these submissions, ensuring a fair and thoughtful selection of recipients.
Interim President/CEO Stefanie Rupert expressed her enthusiasm about the program's impact: "Each year, as we read through the essays, we're reminded of the incredible potential and ambition that thrives in our communities. It's a privilege to play a part in nurturing these bright futures. This scholarship is more than financial assistance; it's an investment in the leaders of tomorrow."
Your hard work and vision for a better world have not gone unnoticed. We are proud to support you as you embark on this next chapter in your educational journey.
Congratulations to the 2024 Town & Country Credit Union Scholarship Recipients!
