El Paso, TX (November 18, 2024) |
| On Thursday, November 14, 2024, Raiz Federal Credit Union awarded $95,000 in scholarships and grants to students, educators, and local non-profits. This community opportunity is provided each year to fuel the dreams of those looking to achieve a higher education, develop professionally, and increase their community impact within their non-profit organization. This year the credit union recognizes 22 individuals who dare to dream big and forge their own paths to success. Raiz takes this opportunity to pay tribute to its heritage deeply rooted in education and continues to empower its members as they reach for a brighter future.
Since its rebranding from Teachers Federal Credit Union (TFCU) to Raiz Federal Credit Union in 2022, the credit union has expanded its community scholarship program to include categories for UTEP’s College of Education and Woody L. Hunt College of Business Administration, STEM, professional development for Region 19 educators, and grants for local non-profit organizations. Max Villaronga, Raiz President and CEO, expressed his excitement, “Investing in education is investing in our future. By expanding our scholarship program, we aim to lift up our community, empower individuals, and create opportunities that will benefit El Paso for generations to come.” Raiz would like to extend congratulations to all the 2024 scholarship and grant recipients listed below for their dedication and remarkable achievements. $1,000 Raiz Community Scholarship
