It’s hard to believe the 2018-2019 school year is winding down already and that it’s time again to announce our annual $1,000.00 Marilyn Archer Scholarship.
To honor the memory of Marilyn Archer, a 10 year credit union staff member and 20 year volunteer who fought a valiant four year fight against cancer, our Board awards a graduating High School Senior $1,000.00 to put towards their college expenses. The winner is chosen, based on their scholastic and extracurricular activities and essay.
The applicant must be a member, or the son or daughter of a member of Advantage Credit Union, Inc. Because we are open to serve anyone who lives, works, worships or attends school in Richland County, we like to extend the opportunity to all students in the Richland County area.
We offer lifetime membership by simply opening a Free Savings Account and depositing $5. If a student is not a member, we will fund their $5 Free Savings Account. We want our area students to know that we are here to support them in their journeys through life.
If you know of a graduating High School Senior who lives, works, worships or attends school in Richland County, please pass along this information.
