Hanscom Federal Credit Union is a purpose-driven organization based in Littleton, MA, empowering its members to achieve financial wellness. Guided by its five core values of Members First, Integrity, Teamwork, Innovation and Empathy, Hanscom FCU serves more than 100,000 members across the country.
Hanscom FCU, headquartered at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Massachusetts, recently recognized seven high school students with college scholarships. Five credit union members and two students from local Air Force Junior ROTC units each received $1,500 towards college expenses.
This year's recipients of the John F. Condon scholarship are Logan Stansbury of North Reading, Michael McAlarney of Lexington, Benjamin Lacroix of Littleton, Matthew Dunbar of Franklin, and Wesley Gallishaw of Seekonk. The scholarship is named after a former board member who contributed substantially to Hanscom FCU's success in his 26 years of volunteer service. The award is based on academic record, extracurricular activities and an essay.
The top graduates of the Lowell High and Bedford High AFJROTC programs, Cadet/Colonel Sabrina Diaz of Lowell and Cadet Zane Adam Sharkawy of Bedford, received $1,500 scholarships.
"Today's students embody the community's hopes for the future," said Hanscom FCU Board Chairman Paul Marotta. "Anything we can do to help them get the tools they need is a good investment."
