Summit Credit Union awards over $65,000 in scholarships
GREENSBORO, NC (July 1, 2019) — Summit Credit Union is pleased to announce the awarding of over $65,000 in scholarship grants for fall 2019. Sixty five students were selected based on their academic achievements and their involvement in school and/or community-related activities. The scholarship funds issued will be used towards each recipient’s college-related expenses.
“Summit Credit Union’s college scholarship program is largely supported by the generosity of Elizabeth ‘Sis’ and James ‘Jim’ Hamilton. As lifelong learners, Sis and Jim wanted to help meet the educational needs of our members. Summit Credit Union supports today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities through knowledge and education, whether through our consumer financial literacy or our college scholarship programs. Summit Credit Union is proud to support this effort in their memory,” says Sam Whitehurst, President and CEO of Summit Credit Union.
Summit Credit Union offers scholarships to any member, adult, or high school senior who expects to attend an educational program beyond high school as a full-time student. Scholarships are given through the Elizabeth H. and James V. Hamilton Scholarship Fund.
