STRATFORD, Conn.– Sikorsky Credit Union has awarded five $1,000 scholarships to local high school seniors preparing to enter college this fall.
The Thomas J. Williams Scholarship Program is named in honor of former CEO Thomas J. Williams, who passed away in 2015, and who “reflects our commitment to supporting the educational endeavors of high school seniors within our community.”
Each year, Sikorsky Credit Union awards five scholarships to deserving high school seniors who show academic promise and dedication to furthering their education. The $1,000 scholarship will assist recipients with tuition, books, or other college-related expenses.
The 2024 scholarship winners: Anna Capelle, Selma Krehic, Matthew Conelius, Mark Sheehe and Liam Keatley.
Sikorsky Credit Union said has promoted the benefit of youth fiscal literacy for many years. In addition to its annual scholarship program, the credit union also organized financial reality fairs at Bunnell High School, Stratford High School, Ansonia High School and Shelton High School. Approximately 750 students participated and learned about managing personal finances and the importance of budgeting.
"Our scholarship program highlights our commitment to supporting the academic pursuits of our members and their families,” said CLO Ken Ferrari. “We extend our heartfelt congratulations to each of the recipients and wish them continued success as they head off to college."
