Registration for the 7th annual Taylorville Community Credit Union Scholarship Program is currently underway and will run thru Friday, October 9th, according to TCCU President Will Perkins. 

Two students each from Pana, Taylorville, Hillsboro, and Litchfield High School will receive $1,000 dollars to further their education and registration forms are available at each of the four TCCU locations.

This is a different type of scholarship, according to Perkins. Members of the community vote for the scholarship winners by spending money at participating local businesses. 

Perkins said that they came up with the idea during a brainstorming session with a third party vendor about seven years ago. The goal was to help both students and the local business communities.

The scholarship funds can be used in a variety of ways, according to Perkins.  

Scholarships will be awarded at the end of the school year in May, 2021. For more information on TCCU please visit taylorvillecommunitycreditunion.com.
