FAIRFAX, VA (May 29, 2014) -- Apple Federal Credit Union’s dedication to the advancement and impact of education in the Northern Virginia community was heightened in 2014 thanks to the institution’s philanthropic arm, the Apple FCU Education Foundation. On May 29, at a gala breakfast program, 36 high school seniors from nine different counties were each awarded a $4,000 college scholarship.
Because the Foundation believes that strong communities are built through individual contributions, the scholarships are awarded to students who have demonstrated a commitment to helping their school and/or community. This year’s 36 “Apple Scholars” were selected from over 400 applications that were reviewed by a committee of 30 judges from the Apple FCU membership community.
This year’s Apple Scholars and their high schools are
