‘We had a number of excellent entries and these two provided very nice examples of the subject matter,? said Allan McMorris, OCCU president and CEO.
The credit union has been offering $3,000 in scholarships at Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes students for the past two years. The contest grew this year to include Clarkston High School.
‘Financial education with our youth is such an important topic,? said McMorris. ‘We’re proud of our youth programs and pleased to know we help make a difference for members of all ages.
