Arsenal Credit Union Awards $5,400 in Scholarships to High School Seniors

Arnold, MO - Since 1997, Arsenal Credit Union has awarded a total of $94,150 to 97 students who’ve shown excellence in academics, a strong commitment to their communities and outstanding overall character. This year’s group of scholarship winners demonstrated how they go above and beyond in both their schoolwork and their commitment to the community.

The first winner is Ana Hendrixson, who was awarded $1,500. Ana will be graduating from Vallle Catholic High School in Ste. Genevieve this spring. She plans on attending Mizzou in the fall to study clinical lab science. When not busy with her academics, Ana is a part of her school’s cheerleading squad and volunteers as an organist at her church.

The next winner is Danielle Ashabranner, who was also awarded $1,500. Danielle will be graduating from Notre Dame High School in Lemay. This fall, she will attend St. Louis University and study to become an occupational therapist. One of Danielle’s most impressive volunteer activities was coordinating a diaper drive that benefited the St. Louis Area Diaper Bank.

Justin Keuss, a senior at De Smet Jesuit High School in Creve Couer, MO, was awarded $1,200. He’s undecided on where he’s going to school in the fall, but plans to study sports management. In fact, he already has some management experience, working as the manager for his school’s basketball team.

The final winner of the night, Emily Borawski, won $1,200. She will be graduating from Lindbergh High School. She will attend St. Louis University in the fall to study accounting and criminal justice. Her career goal is to become a forensic accountant for the FBI.

Arsenal will be accepting applications for its 2022 scholarship in October this year. It is open to high school seniors who have been members of the credit union for at least one year.
