West Jordan, UT - As the cost of college tuition continues to increase, a solid understanding of personal finance is more important than ever. Six Utah high school seniors used their good sense with money to earn a college scholarship.� Each student submitted a written essay about the importance of financial education and a short video. Applicants got creative with video themes including testimonials about the importance of financial education in their daily life and financial advice for other young people.
Students were selected based on community involvement, leadership and academics. "Were very proud of our 2013
Cyprus Credit Union Scholarship Recipients. In addition to academic achievement they have shown a commitment to their community which aligns with our core value of people helping people," said Steve Fifield, Vice President at Cyprus Credit Union. Recipients received
a check for $1,000 toward their college education.
Scholarship Recipients included Tanner Burton, Bingham High School; Gina Sombatsaphay, Granger High School; Aaron Hsu, Hiilcrest High School; Casey Mangum, Stansbury High School; Shaylee VanWagenen, Copper Hills High School; Rebekah Williams, Cyprus High School.
