“It’s great to be able to award this scholarship money to Ellen and Caitlin to help them further their education after High School,” said Sue DeStephano, President/CEO. “They both have very bright futures ahead in their respective fields.”
Ellen attends Eastern York High School. She is heading to Penn State University this fall to pursue a degree in Nursing and is interested in working in labor and delivery or emergency medicine. Ellen is the Class of 2021 Treasurer, and is involved in Student Council, Interact Club, Varsity Club, National Honor Society, and the Dollars for Scholars Board.
Caitlin attends Northeastern Senior High School. She is headed to Eckerd College in the fall to pursue a dual major in Marine Science and Spanish.

The First Capital scholarship program was renamed the Dennis Flickinger scholarship program in 2016 to honor our former CEO, Dennis Flickinger, who retired in 2015. Dennis advocated for financial education in schools and worked tirelessly to promote Credit Unions as a better choice for their financial future.
