SAVANNAH, GA (February 4, 2021) —
Georgia Heritage Federal Credit Union (GHFCU) is proud to announce the launch of its 2021 GHFCU Scholarship Program.
“We are so thrilled to bring our scholarship program back year after year,” said Georgia Heritage President and CEO Dale Taratuta. “It’s a great way for us to show our appreciation to the members we serve by investing in the future of their communities. We enjoy it every year.”
This year, GHFCU will award two college scholarships – a $2,000 first-place prize and a $1,500 second-place prize. The online application process will open to high school seniors Jan. 31 and will close April 19. As part of the submission process, applicants will be required to submit a video that showcases their creativity and commitment to the community.
“I look forward to watching all the thoughtful and unique video submissions,” Taratuta said. “We’ve received some truly inspiring submissions in years past and, in all honesty, I expect this to be the most exciting year, yet.”
Scholarships are available to GHFCU members in good standing. Anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Chatham, Effingham and Bryan counties are eligible to open an account at Georgia Heritage. Click here for more information.
