Celebrating our 2025 Civic Foundation Scholarship recipients

Civic Foundation has awarded scholarships to 25 high school seniors who are members of Civic Federal Credit Union, our supporting organization. To qualify for these $5,000 scholarships, recipients maintained a grade point average of 3.5 or higher, were active in their communities and schools, and showcased amazing leadership skills. The students represent the next generation of our state’s young leaders. 

“We are thrilled to invest in the education of our credit union members,” said Civic Foundation Executive Director, Jazmine Kilpatrick. “It is an honor to recognize the recipients for their academic achievements and community impact by volunteering in leadership roles. We wish the students well on their educational journeys as they pursue the career path of their dreams.”
