TCCU to award $8,000 in scholarship program
TAYLORVILLE — Student registration for Taylorville Community Credit Union’s 9th annual Scholarship Program has begun, and will run through Friday, October 14th. Senior students at Taylorville, Hillsboro, Litchfield and Pana High Schools who plan to continue their education after high school graduation in May, 2023, are eligible.
“Any senior who plans to attend a trade school, community college or a 4-year university can register,” says TCCU President, Will Perkins. “We simply need the student’s name, a good quality photo – such as their senior photo – and a completed Parental Permission form. It’s that easy.”
Registration and parental permission forms are available at all four TCCU locations, as well as on the credit union’s web site at www.TCCU.org.
Two students from each of the four high schools will receive $1000 awards toward their education.
Award recipients are determined by votes cast by community residents at local businesses. Tri-county residents can cast votes for their preferred student(s) whenever they shop at participating retailers in Taylorville, Hillsboro, Litchfield and Pana.
“For every $10 they spend at a participating business, shoppers can cast one vote for a student. Spend $100, you can cast 10 votes,” Perkins explains.
Participating businesses in their respective
communities will display a poster of registered students’ photos. There is a limit of 100 votes ($1000 purchase) per any individual purchase. There is no limit to how many businesses people can patronize, or how many times. Voting will begin in mid-November, and run through February 28, 2023.
Students have until end- of-day Friday, October 14th, to register.
All high school seniors at Taylorville, Hillsboro, Litchfield and Pana High Schools who plan to continue their education are encouraged to register in the program by Friday, October 14th..
Scholarships will be awarded at the end of the school year in May, 2023.
