NOTRE DAME, Ind. – Notre Dame FCU awarded 28 scholarships for the 2020-2021 academic school year. Each student will receive $1,500 and an accompanying 2021 summer internship within the credit union department of their choosing.
“There was an evident spirit of gratitude amongst this year’s winners. Many expressed the current pandemic has caused additional financial need and uncertainty surrounding their future work opportunities,” said Reba Hayes, committee chair and executive administrative assistant to the CEO. “These students were relieved and thankful to receive a scholarship and future internship opportunity with the credit union.”
