KALAMAZOO, MI (May 16, 2024) — Arbor Financial Credit Union is pleased to announce the winners of the 2024 Arbor Financial Scholarship Program.

Arbor Financial Credit Union is dedicated to our membership and the community we serve. Since 1935, our credit union has been empowering members to help them grow and achieve their financial goals. We began our scholarship program in 1999 and have since awarded $592,000 to students in our community throughout the years.

This year, ten high school seniors were awarded $2,000 from the Arbor Financial Scholarship based in large part upon an essay they submitted for the topic, “Consider a pivotal moment from your high school journey and describe how it has influenced your personal growth and readiness for the next phase of your life.” Selected from among 152 entries, Arbor Financial is proud to announce the following winners of the 2024 Arbor Financial Scholarship:
