We are proud to announce the recipients of the 2026 Town & Country Credit Union Scholarships! This year, we awarded ten $1,000 scholarships to outstanding students in our community to support their educational journeys this fall. As we celebrate the fifth anniversary of our scholarship program, we remain committed to investing in the growth and success of future leaders.

High school seniors who are members of the credit union were invited to submit essays responding to the question, “How do you plan to make a positive impact in your chosen career field?” A dedicated team of Town & Country Credit Union employees carefully reviewed and scored each submission, ensuring a fair and thoughtful selection process.

President/CEO Kalli Schell shared her excitement about the program: “Supporting students as they take the next step toward their goals is incredibly meaningful to us. Their passion, determination, and vision for the future are truly inspiring, and we’re honored to play a small part in their journey.”

Congratulations to our scholarship recipients and thank you for your commitment to making a difference. We are proud to support you as you pursue your education and future aspirations.
