LEWISTON – Community Credit Union recently announced that Ava Petrin and Hanna Roy have been named 2020 Gerald R. Langelier Scholarship winners.
Petrin graduated this spring from Leavitt Area High School, in Turner, and Roy from Edward Little High School, in Auburn.
In recognition of Community Credit Union’s 75th Anniversary, additional money was raised to honor each 2020 Gerald R. Langelier scholarship winner with a $750 scholarship.
Petrin’s commitments on and off the athletic field have proven how hard she is willing to work to achieve her goals and aid others in great need, according to the scholarship announcement.
Petrin has balanced a long list of academic, athletic and community involvements, including National Honors Society, varsity soccer, varsity Nordic skiing, varsity track and field, Hornets vs. Hunger Food Drive and volunteering at the Good Shepard Food Bank.
“Her commitment to her school and community is a wonderful foundation to her dream pursuing a medical degree focused in women’s health and providing medical assistance to those who are underserved,” the announcement said.
Community Credit Union recently selected Hanna Roy of Edward Little High School (ELHS) as one of two 2020 Gerald R. Langelier Scholarship winners.
Roy plans to continue evolving her athletic, academic and community involvement into a career that supports her passion to serve others in the health care industry, the announcement said.
A member of the Student Leadership Council, varsity soccer, varsity indoor and outdoor track and a volunteer of the East Auburn Community School, Roy has remained academically motivated and personally driven to continue making a positive impact on her community and the families it embodies.
Community Credit Union has branches at 144 Pine St., as well as 40 Stanley St. in Auburn and 1025 Auburn Road in Turner.
