In addition to community involvement, Voyage FCU also encourages members to pursue additional education.� The credit union awarded $1,500 in scholarships to both graduating high school seniors and undergraduate college students.� The high school scholarship winners each received $500.� We offer congratulations to the recipients of these scholarships -�- Jamie Ann Smith and Jaedon Kroger.
