DELRAY BEACH, Fla.–IBM Southeast Employees Credit Union’s Southeast Credit Union Foundation has named its 2018 Scholarship recipients. From Florida: Alejandra Gutierrez, Arielle Ahrendts, and Madison Burmeister. From Georgia: Christopher Stephens and William Knight.
These $2,500 student scholarships will give students the assistance and motivation to further their education, the credit union said.
The mission of the Southeast Credit Union Foundation is to improve the lives of children and families in the communities we serve. All proceeds raised from annual icon and candy sales in IBMSECU branches along with the Kilometers for Our Community Virtual 5k and other fundraising events were donated directly to the foundation and used to support causes like local scholarship awards and school supplies for children in need.
“Congratulations to all of the winners! All five students are well deserving,” said Stephen Johnson, director of the Southeast Credit Union Foundation. “We believe education is the key to a bright future. We are excited to see them succeed! Giving back to the communities we are in is so important to us.”
