The Armco Credit Union is increasing the amount of scholarships available to graduating high school seniors next year as part of their 90th anniversary celebration.
The local financial institution will be awarding $25,250 total to students who will begin their college or vocational school careers next fall. 20 students will be eligible to receive a $1,000 scholarship while seven more will be provided $750 each.
Scholarships are open to any first-year student or parent that is a member of the Armco Credit Union by the end of this year.
Students will be judged on academic performance, leadership, and community involvement. Bank officials say no essay is necessary, believing a resume offers more real-world value.
The deadline for the application is the end of February.
More information is available on the Armco Credit Union website.
