This past spring graduating high school seniors, who are members at Atlantic, were invited to apply for the Atlantic Federal Credit Union Foundation College Scholarship program. The applicants were asked to provide an essay, a reference letter from a high school teacher or counselor, a resume, including community service, and their transcript. The Atlantic Scholarship Committee reviewed each application and selected the recipients.

Atlantic CEO/President Scott Chretien stated, "Our goal is to help our members do better and improve their financial quality of life. It is a joy to see the Atlantic scholarship program inspire and provide a financial lift in these students' pursuit of higher education."
