Forest Area Federal Credit Union Awards $8,000 in Scholarships to Area High School Seniors

Forest Area Federal Credit Union’s Board of Directors recently approved the awarding of $500 scholarships to 16 high school seniors attending Fife Lake, Kalkaska, Kingsley and Manton, Lake City and Mesick High Schools.

Three from Kingsley Area School, six from Forest Area High School, one from Kalkaska Area High School, four (4) seniors from Manton High School, one from Mesick High School and one from Lake City High School will be receiving their scholarships through various methods over the next month.

The Forest Area Federal Credit Union Scholarship program is open to area high school seniors who are members of the credit union and maintain a GPA of at least 3.0. Preference when needed is given to those going into a business related field.

The scholarship program was designed to give one student in each of the school districts a helping hand with their college expenses. Due to the overwhelming support of members and communities, the credit union was able to expand the reach of this program once again this year, touching the lives of many of the youth in the area with this scholarship award.
