(MOBILE, AL) New Horizons Credit Union offers financial solutions for our members’ Real World through many programs such as our Annual College Scholarship program. New Horizons Credit Union, once again, proudly awarded five deserving high school seniors with a $1,000 scholarship as part of the 2024 New Horizons Credit Union Scholarship Program which is based on academic achievement, community involvement, and essay responses.
New Horizons Credit Union’s Scholarship Program has been going strong for over 22 years awarding over $85,000 in scholarship dollars. To qualify for consideration, a student must be a graduating high school senior and have a New Horizons Credit Union New Wave Youth Savings Account.
There were many extraordinary students who applied for the scholarship which made the decision difficult. But, in the end, five students stood out amongst their peers the most. The winning students were either contacted individually or through their high school’s guidance office for recognition among their peers. Each awardee was also sent a New Horizons Credit Union Certificate of Achievement to add to their college portfolio. The winners’ desired college will receive a check in the student’s name to be applied to their college costs.
Edith Franklin, President/CEO of New Horizons Credit Union, comments, “New Horizons believes in giving back to our community – especially through education. All of the students should feel very proud of their accomplishments, and we wish them success in their pursuits.”
Information regarding the New Horizons Credit Union Scholarship Program and our New Wave Youth Savers Accounts is available at NewHCU.org.
