Silver State Schools Credit Union’s (SSSCU) Board of Directors announced its ten scholarship recipients for 2021.

Each winner selected is a Southern Nevada High School Senior and will receive a $2,000 scholarship renewable for up to four years, for a total of up to $8,000, to use towards higher education. 

It has been a challenging year, especially for High School Seniors who have had to navigate virtual learning with many extracurricular activities being canceled due to the pandemic. Despite these challenges, our scholarship applicants demonstrated their commitment to continued leadership, community service, and academic excellence. SSSCU recognizes the increased need for community support through the number of applications we received this year, and looks forward to supporting outstanding Southern Nevada High School Seniors for years to come. 

Scholarship awards are named after past and current Board Members as well as the Credit Union’s charitable foundation, the Silver State Schools CU People Over Profit (POP) Foundation. A 10th scholarship award was added for 2021 in celebration of the Credit Unions 70th Anniversary.        Selected by the Scholarship Committee of the Board of Directors, the winning students were recognized at the SSSCU virtual Annual Meeting of Members, which was held on Saturday, April 24, 2021. 

“I am impressed with the dedication and incredible academic and extra-curricular achievements of so many students who persevere and make a difference in their schools, studies, and community,” says Scott A. Arkills, President and CEO, Silver State Schools Credit Union. “Despite the challenges of the past year, this promising group of students have already shown us they are ready to commit to the future, regardless of what they have to face, and we are thrilled to be part of their opportunity to accomplish much in their future, including access to continuing education.”
