Virginia Council on Women Reaches Out to Credit Unions for Scholarship Support

VACUL staff were contacted by representatives from the Virginia Council on Women seeking sponsorship support from credit unions for its annual STEAM-H Essay Contest. The contest, in its 12th year, awards high school senior girls pursuing STEAM-H majors and careers with scholarships to aid with their tuition at institutions of higher education. Essay applicants must submit a 700-1,000 word essay discussing their motivation for pursuing a STEAM-H career and their anticipated course of STEAM-H study, trade, and/or profession. Two winners, one merit-based and one need-based, will be named from each region.
 
Interested credit unions can complete the online sponsorship form for more information and to submit their contribution. All Sponsors will be recognized in promotional materials and press releases and invited to the scholarship presentation event. In the past, this has taken place with the Governor at the Executive Mansion.
