2021 Scholarship Winners

2021 Scholarship Winners

The SECU MD Foundation Scholarship Program awarded $115,000 in scholarships to 28 SECU members spanning communities across the state who will be attending a trade, technical school, college or university for the fall 2021 semester.

In recognition of the Scholarship Program’s 15th anniversary, the program awarded $115,000 in scholarships for the 2021–22 academic year. The program exemplifies SECU’s ongoing commitment to empower access to education.

“Our Scholarship Program is built on the foundational tenet that cost shouldn’t serve as a barrier to pursuing one’s dreams,” said Becky Smith, EVP and Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer for SECU Maryland and Executive Director of the SECU MD Foundation. “Instead, this is a bright opportunity that opens doors for the next generation of changemakers.”

While recipients enjoyed a virtual celebration in 2020 due to the necessary safety precautions of the pandemic, the SECU MD Foundation celebrated this year’s winners in a drive-thru celebration with fanfare at the corporate office.
