NOTRE DAME, Ind. – Notre Dame FCU has awarded a record 32 scholarships for the 2019-2020 academic school year. Each student will receive $1,500 and an accompanying 2020 summer internship within the credit union department of their choosing.
The scholarship committee, made up of Notre Dame FCU employees and members of its board of directors, selected students who demonstrated a well-rounded portfolio of academics, financial need, community involvement, leadership and participation in academic activities.
Notre FCU hosted a reception at the Morris Inn last Friday to celebrate the 2019 recipients. Reba Hayes, executive administrative assistant to the CEO and Committee Chair, stated, “For the first time, the applicants were required to submit a video response to the essay questions which helped streamline this exciting process. Out of the 82 applications submitted, we were able to award 32 scholarships- a new record!”
Added Notre Dame FCU’s president and CEO, Tom Gryp, “Over the last seven years, Notre Dame FCU has been honored to be able to award over 100 scholarships to deserving students. My hope is that each recipient will use their award wisely to not only improve their own lives but pay it forward to others as well.”
