ST. LOUIS–The Together Foundation, in conjunction with Together Credit Union, said it is awarding seven scholarships to deserving college-bound seniors through its Together Foundation Community Scholarship program. This announcement is in addition to the $19,500 awarded in May through the credit union’s Vince Jacknewitz Scholarship Program.
“Our community is filled with talented, hardworking students who are committed to achieving their goals. As a community, we need to support them as they pursue their aspirations,” said Claire Trunko, chief people officer.
The Foundation said it launched the Together Foundation Community Scholarship Program in 2019 to fulfill the need for more community-based scholarships in the Greater St. Louis Metropolitan Area. The following recipients will each receive a $1,500 college scholarship to help offset the costs associated with post-secondary education expenses for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year:
- Vahdet K., from Gateway Science Academy, attending Washington University
- Tegan J., from Belleville High School, attending Purdue University
- Sophia L., from Ladue Horton Watkins High School, attending the University of Pennsylvania
