Suncoast Credit Union Foundation is partnering with the Education Foundation of Sarasota County to offer $2,000 scholarship awards to two Sarasota County high school graduates in the class of 2020 as part of the $116,000 statewide investment in scholarships by the Tampa-based credit union’s foundation.
Applications opened in December and are available online at: https://launchyourplan.com/suncoast-credit-union-scholarship/
The application deadline is March 1, 2020. The scholarship is open to high school seniors in Sarasota County who are planning to attend a four- or two-year college or university or a technical/vocational school in Florida and can demonstrate financial need. Students must begin postsecondary school in the 2020-21 academic year and use scholarship funds for tuition, institution fees and other direct course-related expenses.
This year’s Suncoast Credit Union Scholars program represents a continued philosophy of the foundation to support education initiatives and the well-being and potential of children. Since its inception in 1990, the Foundation has contributed more than $25 million, including more than 600 student scholarships valued at nearly $1 million.
“We believe the best way we can build better communities is by investing in education and health-related initiatives for children,” said Cindy Helton, executive director of the Suncoast Credit Union Foundation. “Through the Suncoast Credit Union Scholars program, we have the opportunity to invest in individual human potential, which is particularly rewarding.”
