PLYMOUTH, Mich.–Catholic Vantage Financial CU reported that when it invited members to apply for its 2019 scholarship program, the plan was to award 10 scholarships. Because of the outstanding response to this year’s scholarship program, CVF’s board voted to increase the total number of scholarships to 12.
The winning students and their families were recognized at CVF’s Annual Membership meeting.
Eight scholarships in the amount of $500 each were awarded to help cover tuition for students attending Catholic schools, with four scholarships for youth in elementary school and four in high school.
