Scholarship recipients
The Take Stock in Children program, which provides scholarships, mentors and hope, has awarded 30 Pasco County students with the opportunity for a paid college education. The Suncoast Credit Union sponsored a ‘signing event’ for the new scholars and their families, during which time the students confirmed their commitment to maintain good grades, attendance, behavior, and to remain drug- and crime-free. Upon high school graduation, each student will receive up to four years of college tuition.
