$31,000 in Scholarships
San Dimas, CA - June 17, 2011 CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY CREDIT UNION AWARDS $31,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS
Christian Community Credit Union’s Focused on the Future Scholarship Program awarded $31,000 in scholarships to 32 students in 2011. Recipients were selected based on their essay, academic excellence, extra-curricular activities and references. Applicants wrote an essay on the topic: “Proverbs 15:22 says, ‘Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.’ Write about a financial decision you made that did not work out well. Contrast that with a decision you made after seeking advice from others. How did getting wise counsel help you make a better choice with your money?” The Scholarship Program is offered early spring and awarded in June. Scholarships are available for undergraduate to post-graduate students who are members of Christian Community Credit Union.
Scholarship winners expressed their appreciation to the Credit Union. “Christian Community Credit Union gives young people the resources to succeed in their pursuit of higher education,” said Sarah O’Dell, an incoming freshman whose career goal is to be a medical doctor. “I am excited to be participating in this experience and am blessed to have received this scholarship,” she adds. Luke Harmon, a Master of Divinity student said, “Moments like these help you realize just how much God wants you to succeed in the plans He has for your life. To think that people are willing to invest in your life like this is extremely humbling. This incredible blessing makes me strive harder to make sure this investment into my life will yield fruit one hundred fold in the future.” Both students attend Azusa Pacific University.
