Louisiana FCU Awards $2000 Scholarship to High School Senior

LaPlace, LA – Nina Hymel, a graduating senior at St. Mary’s Dominican High School, was awarded the Ronald E. Thomas Memorial Scholarship on behalf of Louisiana Federal Credit Union (Louisiana FCU). Hymel’s winning essay—describing what makes her exemplary—was selected from among other graduating senior student entries. Hymel plans to attend Loyola University in Chicago this fall to study communications and public relations.

The $2000 scholarship honors the late Ronald E. Thomas for his local and national contributions to the credit union movement. Thomas, who passed away in 2002, was a board member of Louisiana FCU for more than 65 years.

Louisiana FCU is committed to teen financial literacy, offering a variety of products that encourage teens to actively gain money management skills, track financial decisions and learn how to budget for their future.
