Robins Financial Credit Union supports education with local scholarships

WARNER ROBINS, GA (September 1, 2023) — Robins Financial Credit Union proudly honors their commitment to empowering education in our community by supporting two local scholarships. The credit union donated $5,000 to the Fort Valley State University Foundation and $4,000 to the Georgia Military College Foundation.

Robins Financial has been a longtime supporter of the Georgia Military College (GMC) Foundation scholarship. Their $4,000 donation provides a one-year scholarship for one student. Jermaine Rountree was awarded the 2023 GMC Foundation scholarship and is pursuing a major in Computer Science.

This marks the first year that Robins Financial has donated to the Fort Valley State University (FVSU) Foundation scholarship. Their $5,000 donation supports a one-year scholarship for one student. Mark Nooks Jr. was selected as the 2023 recipient of the FVSU Foundation scholarship. Nooks is a rising senior majoring in Middle Grades Education.
