SOMERVILLE, Mass.–Naveo Credit Union has launched Mr. John C. Feitor Memorial Scholarship.
To honor his legacy, one scholarship in the amount of $3,000 will be awarded to an applicant who embodies some of Mr. Feitor’s inspiring traits and qualities: excellence in community involvement and outstanding academic merit.
The scholarship honors the memory of longtime board member, John C. Feitor, who was a strong believer of community involvement and striving for higher education. Mr. Feitor himself was an active contributor to the credit union and Portuguese communities, serving in several volunteer capacities at local organizations. Mr. Feitor’s own stories of persistence and success were an inspiration in the creation of this scholarship.
Mr. Feitor served the Naveo Credit Union Board of Directors for nearly forty years in several capacities, including board and 2nd vice chair. He also served as a member of the Scholarship Committee for several years, the CU said.
“We are pleased to honor Mr. Feitor’s memory and enduring legacy of service to Naveo Credit Union and the community through this annual scholarship. It is our hope that the future recipients will epitomize the passion for improving the lives of so many as demonstrated by Mr. Feitor throughout his life,” said President CEO Andrea White.
