Pelican State Credit Union Grants $6,000 in College Scholarship Awards

BATON ROUGE, LA (May 13, 2013) Pelican State Credit Union granted a $500 scholarship award to twelve college bound members in its branch communities across the state.

Pelican’s scholarship program was founded six years ago under the leadership of Jeffrey K. Conrad, CEO/President. “The young men and women chosen to receive scholarship awards stood out among their peers as future leaders of our communities. We look forward to helping these members reach their educational goals,” said Conrad.

Each year, recipients are chosen by a democratic committee made up of Pelican employees who volunteer their time. Applicants are scored anonymously based on academic achievement,
extracurricular activities, leadership, community service and letters of recommendation.
