Hudson River Community Credit Union (HRCCU) has awarded three deserving local high school seniors with $1,000 college scholarships. These scholarships will allow the recipients to offset the cost of studying at a 2 or 4 year college or university this Fall.
The recipients of HRCCU’s 2024 College Scholarships are Cayden Williams, Hadley Luzerne Junior/Senior High School; Aidan Shaw, Hartford Middle/High School, and Anna Grace Richichi, Lake George Junior/Senior High School.
“We congratulate our 2024 scholarship winners for continued excellence in their schools and communities,” said CEO Sue Commanda. “This year’s winners not only excelled academically, but also supported their communities by volunteering their time to local charitable groups. They exemplified the ‘people helping people’ philosophy that drives credit unions every day. We’re proud to help these talented and hard-working young members to attain their educational goals.”
Applicants were asked to submit references, list school and community activities, and write an essay about how they plan to give back to their communities following college graduation. Finalists were selected based on a 100-point scoring system.
HRCCU has partnerships with a number of schools in the Capital Region including its funding of financial literacy programs in the Hudson Falls and Watervliet school districts to help provide children with lifelong financial skills.
