PHILADELPHIA, PA (May 28, 2024) |
American Heritage Credit Union (American Heritage) awarded 30 high school senior members with a $1,000 scholarship to help ease the financial burden of higher education expenses. American Heritage’s Scholarship Committee will select the 2024 recipients based on their scholarly merits, community and school involvement, a letter of recommendation, credit union eligibility, and a submitted essay describing an accomplishment, event, or realization that sparked a period of personal growth and a new understanding of oneself or others.
This year, American Heritage invited the scholarship recipients to its Scholarship Banquet at American Heritage’s Main Campus to celebrate these deserving students and their achievements.
The Scholarship Program honors American Heritage’s Chairperson Emerita, Cecilia B. Grady, who served on American Heritage’s Board of Directors for over 40 years. American Heritage’s annual scholarship program represents her dedication to financial literacy, education, and community outreach.
“We’re proud to offer our future community leaders an opportunity to help alleviate some of the financial burden that increasing higher education costs create,” states Bruce K. Foulke, American Heritage’s President & CEO. “The students coming out of school with more debt and financial burdens than any generation before them. This is one of the reasons we offer our Scholarship Program, so they can use the scholarship however they see fit to support their educational goals and career aspirations. Congratulations to this year’s recipients of the Cecilia B. Grady Scholarship Program and we wish you luck in your future endeavors!”
