Taylorville Community Credit Union reminds residents in Taylorville, Hillsboro, Litchfield, and Pana, that voting is underway for its 11th Annual ‘Stop. Shop. Vote!’ scholarship program. Voting will continue from now until February 28th.
This year, 30 senior students from Taylorville High School are participating in the program, which awards eight $1,000 scholarships in total. Two of which will go to students currently at Taylorville High School. The scholarships can be used for trade school, community college, or university tuition.
Community members can take part in the selection process by shopping at one of 78 participating local businesses. For every $10 spent, shoppers earn one vote to cast for a student of their choice. There is no limit to how many stores they can visit or how often they can vote.
TCCU President Will Perkins expressed that the program is a great way to support both local businesses and area students, making their purchases count in more ways than one. Perkins also emphasized the value of the program in strengthening community ties while helping students achieve their educational goals.
Voting results will determine the winners, with announcements made at the end of the school year in May, 2025. For a full list of participating businesses and more details on the program, visit www.TCCU.org.
