Credit Union to Award Scholarships to All 2020 Qualified Applicants
Each year, Dominion Energy Credit Union awards $2,000 to outstanding high school seniors. The scholarship recognizes the students’ excellence in academics and dedication to school, activities and community involvement. Over the past 19 years, the Credit Union has awarded a total of $322,000 in scholarships to 222 students.
This year, a mistake was made in the notification mailing to those who applied for the DECU scholarships. As a result, the letter to all 143 qualified applicants stated they would receive a scholarship. We believe the responsible thing to do is to honor the message in the letters, and so all 143 qualified applicants have been awarded a $2,000 scholarship.
The applications received were of superior caliber. Each of these students demonstrated great initiative and should be proud of their accomplishments.
Dominion Energy Credit Union takes seriously the trust you place in us. While we believe this is the appropriate action, we will resume awards to only finalists in future years.
