Arizona State Credit Union announced that it has awarded $34,000 in college scholarships and student loan forgiveness grants to 17 students and recent college graduates from around the state.
The credit union’s Loan Reduction Grant provides funds to help recent Arizona graduates pay down their student loans. The grant is awarded to graduates on the basis of academic achievement and continuing commitment to their communities.
Recipients of the credit union’s Community Leaders Scholarship, aimed at Arizona college students still in school, are awarded money to help pay for tuition, fees, textbooks, and other college expenses.
The winners are students and graduates from state colleges and universities — Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University, the University of Arizona, Coconino Community College, and Yavapai Community College — and all 17 “are representative of Arizona’s diverse student population,” the credit union said in its press release.
Phoenix-based Arizona State Credit Union, a statewide nonprofit financial cooperative serving more than 130,000 Arizonans, has been offering scholarships and grants to Arizona students for over 50 years.
