NEWPORT NEWS, Va., June 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The BayPort
Foundation today announced it has awarded $100,000 in 11 different scholarship types to a
total of 38 member students in the surrounding local communities
attending a college, university, trade, or vocational school.
Since 1961, BayPort Credit Union has supported member students
in funding their educational pursuits. Over that time, it has
awarded over $1 million in
scholarships. Today, the credit union's philanthropic arm, the
BayPort Foundation, continues its mission to enrich members' lives
by providing tuition assistance. Scholarship applications are
scored on financial need, academic achievements, school and
community involvement, and a written essay. In addition, students
must be pursuing a degree or certification at an accredited
college, university, trade, or vocational school.
BayPort has partnered with WAVY-TV NBC and WVBT-FOX43 to honor
