American Heritage Credit Union is proud to ease the financial burden of college expenses by offering twenty-five $1,000 college scholarships to young credit union members. American Heritage Credit Union’s Scholarship Committee selected the 2018 scholarship recipients based on their scholarly merits, community and school involvement, a letter of recommendation, and a submitted essay describing from a financial standpoint, what impact would this scholarship have on their education.
A Scholarship Banquet was held at American Heritage’s Main Campus on May 9, 2018 honoring the deserving students and their families. Each winning scholar was presented with a $1,000 undergraduate college scholarship.
“The cost of a college education increases year by year, and in most circumstances, it’s imperative to receive a college degree in order to attain these student’s dream jobs,” states Bruce K. Foulke, American Heritage President & CEO. “The future of our communities are coming out of college with more debt than generations before them. This is the reason we created our Scholarship Program; to support these student’s families and provide a path for students to chase their career aspirations. Congratulations to this year’s receipts of the American Heritage Scholarship Award.”
