Advance Financial Federal Credit Union (AFFCU) strongly believes in the credit union philosophy of “People Helping People” and recently demonstrated that belief as it awarded a $1,500 college scholarship to a most deserving individual. Ryan Michael Brummet was chosen as this year’s recipient from a list of several worthy candidates.
Ryan and his parents recently attended AFFCU’s 81st Annual Meeting where he was recognized by Chairperson Janice Vamos for his academic accomplishments and presented with an award certificate. “Ryan has an exemplary academic record, high test scores, an outstanding essay and very impressive references,” commented Chairperson Vamo. “He is an individual who we believe will make an impact on our world,” added Vamos.
Ryan plans to attend IU in Bloomington where he will begin his studies to eventually become a Petroleum Geologist. He plans to work for a company like Exxon-Mobile or Chevron where he would assist in researching and finding oil fields and making sure the oil is extracted effectively and efficiently. His focus will be on environmental sustainability.
