Fort Community Credit Union (FCCU) announced the names of five scholarship recipients who were selected to receive $2,000. The FCCU scholarship was developed in 2019 as a reflection of FCCU’s mission statement: “To help our members be in a better financial position than when we met them.” These scholarships will help members achieve their educational dreams.

This year’s scholarship committee reviewed the applications submitted by our member graduates. “There are so many talented seniors in the surrounding communities,” Whitney Townsend, Director of Business and Community Development, said, “It is a challenge to select only five recipients when plenty more demonstrate great character and achievement.”

The FCCU scholarship recipients for the 2022-2023 school year included:
• Lauren Lescohier, Fort Atkinson High School graduate, plans to attend UW Whitewater to pursue a degree in elementary education.
• David Ganser Jr., Jefferson High School graduate, plans to attend UW Stout to pursue a degree in construction management.
• Noah Clifton, Jefferson High School graduate, plans to attend Madison College for liberal arts with plans to pursue a degree in construction management.
• Cali Kopecky, Whitewater High School graduate, plans to attend UW Whitewater to pursue a degree in business.
• Alex Martin, Whitewater High School graduate, plans to attend UW Whitewater to pursue a degree in music education.
