This spring, Charter Oak Federal Credit Union awarded $94,000 in scholarships to 47 high school and college students in New London and Windham counties for their significant academic and community achievements. Since 2015 when Charter Oak first expanded its annual scholarship program, we have proudly awarded $648,000 in scholarships to a total of 324 students in eastern Connecticut.
"Our scholarship committee was truly impressed with the many achievements of these scholarship recipients - in their school studies as well as their community activities - during an academic year that was heavily impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Once again, the selection process was very competitive, with more than 190 applications received by Charter Oak for this year's scholarship program." - Brian A. Orenstein, Charter Oak's President and Chief Executive Officer
