Naveo Credit Union Awarded $4,000 in Scholarships

Somerville, Massachusetts-based Naveo Credit Union's Scholarship Committee handed out four scholarships of $1,000 each during its recent annual meeting. The recipients of the 2017-2018 Carlos Faria and Victor Da Silva Memorial Scholarships are Emeline Antunes of Medford, Lyndsy Cadet of Everett, Erika Furtado of Peabody, and Anna Griffin of Cambridge. Scholarship recipients are anonymously selected based on financial need, scholastic merit and community and school involvement. 

"At Naveo Credit Union, we believe in the future academic success of our young members. In order to assist with the rising costs of education, Naveo has been proudly supporting our young members through the scholarship program for the last 30 years," commented Paul Ferreira, the scholarship committee chair. "We continue to be impressed by the academic dedication, community involvement and individual goals of our applicants. We would like to thank all of them, congratulate the winners and wish everyone the very best on their academic road ahead." 

Named after former board members for their dedication to education, the Carlos Faria and Victor Da Silva Memorial Scholarship Fund has been a credit union program since the 1980s.
