ELKO, Nev.–Elko Federal Credit Union (EFCU) recently awarded two Spring Creek High School 2018 graduates each with a $1,000 scholarship to put toward continuing their education. The certificates were presented to Kaycee Smith and Xzavier Edson at a ceremony held at Spring Creek High School.
“EFCU is honored to award these extraordinary students for their hard work and the commitment they have put toward their education”, said John Kelly, CEO of Elko Federal Credit Union. “We look forward to what the future holds for the Class of 2018.”
Launching their first independent scholarship program this spring, the EFCU Scholarship Committee selected six recipients, two from each high school, based on the students’ grade point averages, written essays, letters of recommendation, involvement in extracurricular activities, and more. The program will continue in 2019 and is open to graduating students of Elko, Spring Creek and Wells High School.
