Valley Students Receive $13,000 in Scholarships from Arizona Federal Credit Union
Phoenix, Arizona (PRWEB) May 16, 2017 -- Arizona Federal, a locally-based credit union in Phoenix, has partnered with the Maricopa Community Colleges Foundation to offer $1,000 scholarships to local students.
The Arizona Federal Scholarship is allotted for 10 students to receive $500 per semester to help pay for tuition and books. For the 2017-18 school year, 13 students were selected as recipients, bringing the total awarded since the scholarship’s inception to $33,000.
“As a local cooperative, it is our privilege to be able to assist members of the community, and this scholarship is one way we do that,” said Ron Westad, president and chief executive officer of Arizona Federal Credit Union. “With the cost of tuition rising, scholarships like ours help students pay for school, which decreases the amount of student loans they have to use and helps them start out their after-college lives with a better financial picture.”
Arizona Federal would like to congratulate the 13 recipients of the scholarship for the 2017-18 school year, including Samantha Cheatham, Joseph Coronado, Veronica Cruz, Angelita Garcia, Heather Hilton, Christine Hines, Alison Kolsrud, Kevin Licklider, Magaly Lozano, Ana Martinez, Hector Medina, Jesus Rivera and Abdullah Yusuf.
