San Antonio, June 8, 2023 — San Antonio Citizens Federal Credit Union held a ceremony Tuesday, June 6, at the credit union’s Operations Center in San Antonio to present ten $1,500 “Be The Difference” scholarships to their credit union members who are graduating from local high schools this year.
Scholarship applicants must be a credit union member graduating from a high school program within the credit union’s service area and continuing their education after high school. This year’s scholarship recipients are Anna Anderson, Makaelynn Cameron, Caitlyn Eudy, Alexander Gard, Belal Mansour, Scout Newlon, Jacob Partain, Jillian Payne, Adeline Shiver and Effie Tillack.
The graduates are headed off in different directions and chasing different dreams. The Credit Union would like to congratulate the scholarship winners for their commitment to their education and their community.
The credit union began its Scholarship Program in 2008. Now in their 16th year of the program, San Antonio Citizens Federal Credit Union has awarded a total of $110,000 to members continuing their education after high school.
SACFCU is proud to be guided by the vision statement “To be the difference that empowers dreams to be realized.”
