Education First Federal Credit Union has announced its scholarship recipients for the Class of 2021.
“Education is in our name, and we’re proud to help high school seniors pay for higher education,” the announcement reads. “Over the last several weeks, representatives from Education First have personally presented $1,000 scholarships to 36 local high school seniors in Southeast Texas.”
Since 1999, when the credit union began distributing the scholarship funds, it has awarded $551,000. This year’s round of graduates throughout Southeast Texas will bring that total to $587,000.
The recipients of Education First’s scholarships are chosen by their counselors or their high school’s scholarship committee each year.
