American Heritage Credit Union awarded 30 high school senior members with a $1,000 scholarship to ease the financial burden of higher education expenses. American Heritage Credit Union’s Scholarship Committee selected the 2023 scholarship recipients based on their scholarly merits, community and school involvement, a letter of recommendation, credit union eligibility, and a submitted essay describing a time applicants faced a challenge or setback and how they were able to learn from the experience.

This year, American Heritage invited the scholarship recipients to its Scholarship Banquet at American Heritage’s Main Campus to celebrate these deserving students and their achievements.

The Scholarship Program honors American Heritage’s Chairperson Emerita, Cecilia B. Grady, who served on American Heritage’s Board of Directors for over 40 years. American Heritage’s annual scholarship program represents her dedication to financial literacy, education, and community outreach.

“We’re proud to offer our scholarship program to our members to help alleviate some of the financial burden that higher education creates,” states Bruce K. Foulke, American Heritage’s President & CEO. “Our future community leaders are coming out of school with more debt and expenses than any generation before them. The scholarship these students receive from our program can be used however they see fit to support their educational goals and career aspirations. Congratulations to this year’s recipients of the Cecilia B. Grady Scholarship Program and we wish you luck in your future endeavors!”
