Northeast Announces 2020 Scholarship Recipients
Twenty-four extraordinary Northeast Credit Union student-members have been selected as recipients of Northeast Credit Union’s 2020 Scholarship Awards. $40,000 in scholarships were awarded to student-members in New Hampshire and Southern Maine, who displayed exceptional leadership among their peers, and demonstrated a commitment to academics and to their communities.
“Your generosity has made a profound impact on my life and I am truly grateful to be a recipient of your scholarship” said Anna Roberge, a Love Your Community Scholarship recipient. “It is an honor to be recognized for my hard work, and receiving this scholarship motivates me to continue to strive for excellence.”
Northeast Credit Union promotes the simple message, Love your Community (LYC), in an effort to encourage others to be active members in the communities they live and work in. When asked what it means to Love Your Community, scholarship recipient Crystal Brackett, a nursing student replied, “I plan to make a positive difference in the world by continuing to give back to my community, to treat every patient like they are my loved one and being kind.”
“When I think of our 2020 scholarship recipients the word resilient comes to mind. These talented and deserving students have ended their academic year differently than anticipated, however, they have handled it with humility and support for one another,” said Northeast Credit Union’s President and CEO Timothy J. Collia. “There is no better feeling than recognizing and helping our student-members of Northeast Credit Union reach their goals. We are excited to see and share in their success in their future endeavors.”
