Nutmeg State Federal Credit Union will offer four $2,000 scholarships to four full-time undergraduate students who are members–or become members–of the credit score union. The scholarship program was created in memory of Arthur E. Werner, previous President and Chief Executive Officer of Nutmeg State Federal Credit score Union.
To become eligible for credit union membership, college students should live, work, attend school, volunteer or worship in Hartford, Tolland and Middlesex counties. Of the four awarded scholarships, two is going to be awarded on a need-basis, which is determined based on factors such as combined income, mortgage payment, number of other children attending college, unusual medical circumstances and other associated conditions. Two merit/academic-based scholarships are going to be awarded based on academic record, essay, recommendations and extra-curricular activities.
“In this challenging economy, especially, it is our pleasure to offer these scholarships to college students,” stated Loren E. Dickinson, President and CEO of Nutmeg State Federal Credit Union. “We wish to give young individuals each opportunity possible to access and advantage from greater education.”
