Elmwood Park, NJ, July 05, 2019 --(PR.com)-- Spencer Savings Bank recently awarded $25,000 in scholarships to high school and middle school students from 33 local schools in Bergen, Passaic, Union, Mercer, Morris and Essex counties. The awards were distributed at the bank’s annual scholarship ceremony on June 26, 2019. To date over $400,000 has been awarded, since the program first started in 2002.
“We are so proud to be able to award these scholarships to students in our community. Lack of financial support is one of the greatest roadblocks to higher education,” stated Jose B. Guerrero, Spencer’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Education is one endeavor we will always support. It is the single best thing you can do to build up a community and that is our mission every single day. Congratulations to all these students who are working hard and shaping a bright future - for themselves and for those around them!”
Students from various New Jersey school districts, within Spencer’s market area, received scholarships. The winners are selected by the school’s guidance department. High School students each received a $1,000 check, and middle school students each received a tax-advantaged Coverdell Education Savings Account (CESA) with $500 deposited to encourage future saving. The Spencer team surprised the students at their school ceremonies and presented them with certificates. All of the students, and their family members, were then invited to the bank’s annual scholarship ceremony where guests enjoyed a light buffet dinner, connected with Spencer’s management team and took photos with the bank’s president. Spencer Savings Bank congratulates all the 2019 scholarship winners and wishes the group lots of success.
