APPLE FEDERAL CREDIT UNION'S SUCCESSFUL EDUCATION FOUNDATION AWARDS $132,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS TO LOCAL STUDENTS

Apple Federal Credit Union’s dedication to the advancement and impact of education in the Northern Virginia community was advanced in 2015 thanks to the institution’s philanthropic arm, the Apple FCU Education Foundation. On May 28, at a gala breakfast program, 33 high school seniors from across northern Virginia were each awarded a $4,000 college scholarship.

Because the Foundation believes that strong communities are built through individual contributions, the scholarships are awarded to students who have demonstrated a commitment to helping their school and/or community. This year’s 33 “Apple Scholars” were selected from over 300 applications that were reviewed by a committee of 30 judges from the Apple FCU membership community.
