Connex Credit Union recently awarded a scholarship to O.H. Platt High School student Vincenza DiDomenico, a college-bound senior currently residing in Meriden. DiDomenico submitted an application along with transcripts and an essay addressing the topic: “What can Connex do to educate high school and college students to help them achieve financial success.” She was selected out of more than fifty applicants. For her efforts, DiDomenico received the Arthur B. Haesche Memorial Scholarship for $2,000. Vincenza will be attending Fairfield University in the fall and will major in Finance. While at O.H. Platt High School, she played varsity tennis, volleyball, cross-country and was a member of the high school band.
