Four area residents recently received help paying off their student loans after being selected to take part in a scholarship program by Numerica Credit Union.
The students got about $5,000 each to help pay down their loans as part of Numerica’s Student Loan Repayment Scholarship Program, said Katie Scofield, Numerica’s financial education officer.
“For many people, the burden of student loan debt plagues them for years after college,” Scofield said in a news release. “Relieving even a portion of this debt aligns with our commitment to our members’ financial well-being.
“These recipients inspired us with their dedication to tackling student debt, and we’re proud to support them.”
