2020 SELCO Scholarship recipients
In 2020, it was vital to continue our tradition of giving back to students. And it was equally important to provide some normalcy by supporting them in this stage of their academic journey through our annual scholarship program. This year we awarded 20 graduating seniors with $2,500 scholarships.
“This year’s graduating seniors are facing unprecedented obstacles, and for that reason we are truly thankful that we are able to help this impressive group of students,” said Craig Carpenter, SELCO’s senior vice president of lending and business solutions. “Since teachers founded the credit union more than 80 years ago, SELCO has embraced education as a core tenet to its mission of improving the financial health of all its members. The importance of that mission is growing as the needs of our member-owners have increased during this most challenging time.”
Moving forward with purpose
As we reflect on 2020, these scholarship recipients remain a bright spot in an otherwise unusual year. Let this experience always be a reminder that, with determination, anything is possible. Congratulations, class of 2020 seniors. We are proud of you and can’t wait to see what’s next on your educational journey.
