GLENDALE, Calif.–Los Angeles FCU has named the winners of the 2024 Jack C. Mathews College Scholarship competition.
President/CEO Richard Lie and EVP/COO Anthony Cuevas presided over the event in the credit union’s boardroom, with Mr. Lie awarding $2,500 each to four high school or college students pursuing higher education in the Fall of 2024, the credit union said.
The four winners were selected from 37 qualified entries. Students were evaluated on their academic transcripts, letters of recommendation, extracurricular activities, community service and custom video. Each applicant submitted a one-minute video on the topic of how they would spend their $2,500 if they were to win a scholarship.
The winners will attend either USC, Cal Poly Pomona, Loyola Marymount University, or LA Southwest College.
The scholarship is named in honor of the late Jack C. Mathews, who worked for the City of Los Angeles for 40 years and served 34 years as a volunteer on the LAFCU board.
Since 2006, LAFCU has awarded over $130,000 in scholarships to help 102 deserving students and/or teachers.
