ELKO, Nev.–Elko Federal Credit Union has awarded two Elko High School 2018 graduates each with a $1,000 scholarship to put toward continuing their education. The certificates were presented to Luis Becerra and Zoe Lewis at a ceremony held at Elko High School.
Launching their first independent scholarship program this spring, the EFCU Scholarship Committee selected six recipients, two from each local 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 Schools.
