LUTHERVILLE, MD (April 28, 2022) — First Financial Federal Credit Union has awarded $159,000 in scholarships to 53 graduating seniors from Baltimore and Carroll County Public Schools as well as private schools within its field of membership.
First Financial established a scholarship program in 1998 to recognize the academic achievements of young adults in the local community. In its 24th year, scholarships totaling $2.2 million have been awarded to over 700 hardworking students.
