The SASCU Credit Union board of directors awarded $21,000 in scholarships this year to local schools in the Shuswap. SASCU scholarships recognize students for their academic, extracurricular and community contributions.
The scholarships are awarded to 14 deserving students from Okanagan College Salmon Arm campus, Salmon Arm Secondary School, Eagle River Secondary, Salmon Arm Storefront School, and King’s Christian School. Students apply directly to the scholarship committee of their respective school, which selects the recipients each year. The students must be members of SASCU Credit Union to be eligible.
“SASCU’s vision is to be our members’ lifelong financial partner,” says Barry Delaney, CEO of SASCU Financial Group. “In addition to over $1 Million in community Sponsorships, since 2002, SASCU has awarded $286,500 in scholarships to our graduating members.
“We are pleased to support local youth and education each year with these 14 scholarships and congratulate the class of 2016.”
The Credit Union Foundation of B.C. also offers education awards to students of accredited public colleges and universities. For more information, visit the CUFBC’s website at http://cufoundation.org.
