Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union Presents a Community Service Scholarship and a Legacy Scholarship in Partnership with the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation
For the second year, Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union and the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation chose two graduating high school seniors to win $5,000 each in scholarship awards.
The 2024 Community Service Scholarship winner is Giana Montante, who plans to attend Coastal Carolina University this fall. The 2024 Legacy Scholarship winner is Isaiah Charley, who plans to attend North Carolina A&T in the fall.
Applicants were evaluated by the Carolina Trust Federal Credit Union and Carolinas Credit Union Foundation Scholarship Selection Committee based on grade point average, participation in school clubs and activities, community and volunteer involvement, and their response to an online essay question. In addition to the four key areas, the Scholarship Selection Committee also recognizes that college is overwhelmingly expensive for many. To help, the Foundation’s scholarship application portal includes a financial need section. The 2024 award recipients were scored as most qualified for the scholarships based on the criteria stated above.
“We are honored to partner with the foundation to recognize these talented students. Their academic achievements in the classroom, extracurricular activities, and dedication to community service are truly impressive. We are proud of all the applicants who are planning to continue their education in an effort to achieve personal and professional goals,” said Tim Carlisle, Carolina Trust President/CEO.
For nearly 30 years, the Carolinas Credit Union Foundation has served as a partner in philanthropy to credit unions, with a mission to empower and inspire credit unions in the Carolinas through collaborative opportunities that enrich the community.
