AURORA, Colo.–Fitzsimons Credit Union has announced the 2019 recipients of The Sandra B. Neves Scholarship, named in honor of former CEO Sandy Neves and ranging from $500 - $,1000.
The credit union noted Neves has always been passionate about higher education, asserting that “the backbone of any accomplishment is education, no matter how one defines success. In fact, she did not measure her own success by becoming a CEO, but by the opportunities she was given by supporters, mentors and educators, and by having the good fortune to get an education and work in a career she loved. She is happy to support those with the desire to work hard and learn.”
This year’s scholarship recipients were chosen based on academic achievement, career aspirations, community service, extracurricular participation, and financial need. The winners included Breanna Kendle, Jael Mallory, Mikayla Moulton-Burridge, Sarah Weskamp, Sydney Herrera, Russell Dyk, and Rebecca Durfee.
