For more than 30 years, Teachers has reinforced its commitment to making the pursuit of higher education more attainable by way of academic scholarships to student members across the country. The submissions were reviewed by a committee that considers the applicant’s academic achievements, community engagement, and extracurricular activities, as well as a written essay detailing the students’ personal and professional aspirations, and how they hope to positively impact the community in the years to come.
“Education and continuous learning are at the core of what we stand for at Teachers, and we are proud to recognize this year’s scholarship recipients,” said Teachers Federal Credit Union President and CEO, Brad Calhoun. “Today's students are the changemakers of tomorrow, and we are honored to contribute to their pursuit of higher education.”
