Carson City students win scholarships from Greater Nevada Credit Union
Carson City residents Ryan Doherty, Marcella Rico, and Maddison Saarem are three of 19 students recently awarded a $1,000 scholarship certificate from Greater Nevada Credit Union.
Ninety-three students throughout northern Nevada applied for the scholarship program, which GNCU has offered for the past 15 years. Doherty will be attending University of Redlands in California, Rico will be attending Western Nevada College, and Sareem will be attending University of Nevada, Reno.
“It’s our pleasure to provide financial support to some of the region’s best students so that they can continue their education,” said GNCU President/CEO, Wally Murray.
The scholarships were awarded on a competitive basis and winners were selected based on their financial need, academic performance, personal statement, recommendations from school and community leaders and community involvement. The scholarships can be used for tuition, course registration, special class or laboratory fees, room and board, textbooks and class materials.
Greater Nevada is headquartered in Carson City, Nevada and has been serving northern Nevada since 1949. The credit union has more than 45,000 members and $475 million in assets, and has been consistently voted Best Financial Institution in most of its service areas. Since 2008, Greater Nevada has also been recognized in the Reno/Tahoe Best Places to Work Awards. For more information, visit gncu.org.
