MOBILE, AL (May 23, 2025) |
Through the New Wave Youth Savings Account program, New Horizons Credit Union offers graduating high school senior members a scholarship opportunity. This past spring, New Horizons Credit Union, once again, proudly awarded five deserving high school seniors with a $1,000 scholarship as part of the 2025 New Horizons Credit Union Scholarship Program which is based on academic achievement, community involvement, and essay responses.
New Horizons Credit Union’s Scholarship Program has been going strong for over 23 years awarding over $90,000 in scholarship dollars. To qualify for consideration, a student must be a graduating high school senior and have a New Horizons Credit Union New Wave Youth Savings Account. New Horizons Credit Union encourages parents and guardians to open their child a savings account to encourage financial literacy.
The decision is always difficult because there were many extraordinary students who apply for the scholarship. But, in the end, five students stood out amongst their peers the most. The winning students were either contacted individually or through their high school’s guidance office for recognition among their peers. Each awardee was also sent a New Horizons Credit Union Certificate of Achievement to add to their college portfolio. The winners’ desired college will receive a check in the student’s name to be applied to their college costs. The following are the five high school senior scholarship recipients:
Addison Byrd – Citronelle High School
Shelby Blake – Satsuma High School
Kate Ferguson – Mobile Christian School
Lily Morgan – Alma Bryant High School
Morgan Parker – Alma Bryant High School
“New Horizons Credit Union believes in furthering education and has a proven track record of doing so over the years. All the students should feel very proud of their accomplishments, and we wish them success in their pursuits,” commented Edith Franklin, President/CEO of New Horizons Credit Union.
