2022 Scholarship Winners
SECU MD Foundation, the philanthropic arm of Maryland’s largest state-chartered credit union – SECU, announced its 2022 Scholarship Recipients.
In an effort to further education and provide a brighter future for its members, the SECU MD Foundation Scholarship Program awarded $115,000 in scholarships to 27 SECU members spanning communities across the state who will be attending a trade or technical school, college or university for the Fall 2022 semester for either undergraduate or post-graduate work.
Of the 27 recipients, four Grand Prize Winners were identified for their outstanding commitment to their communities and passion for making the world a better place. Each Grand Prize Winner received $5,000 in scholarships in memory of Donald Tynes, Sr., SECU’s longest-serving Board member who passed away in March 2022. In honor of his legacy, mentorship and philanthropy, each of the Grand Prize Winners will also receive a donation on behalf of the SECU MD Foundation that will be gifted to a Maryland nonprofit of their choice.
The SECU MD Foundation recognized this year’s winners at an award celebration at SECU’s headquarters in Linthicum Heights, Maryland, on Tuesday, June 28.
