LEWISTON — Lewiston Municipal Federal Credit Union recently awarded $1,000 scholarships to six high school seniors who are headed to college in the fall.
Through the annual scholarship program, Lewiston Municipal Federal Credit Union awards scholarships to students who use the money toward college expenses such as tuition, books or other school materials.
This year’s winners are Taylor Cailler, a Poland Regional High School graduating senior, and Jacob Smith, Thomas Brochu, Emma Williams, Derek Metivier and Caden Smith, all of whom are graduating from Lewiston High School.
To be considered, students completed scholarship applications and wrote essays describing what it means to be a financially responsible consumer and credit union member.
“Lewiston Municipal Federal Credit Union is deeply committed to education and financial literacy,” said Financial Services Manager Claudette St.Pierre. “This year’s scholarship winners all wrote about financial responsibility and each have demonstrated a commitment to their education. We are so happy to support these students as they begin their college education.”
Founded in 1944, Lewiston Municipal Federal Credit Union serves the employees of the city of Lewiston, city of Auburn, Lewiston Schools, Auburn Schools, Lewiston Housing Authority and their families.
