Mid Minnesota Federal Credit Union is proud to announce that Abigail Borash, of Little Falls, MN has won a $1,000 Scholarship from the Minnesota Credit Union Foundation Scholarship Council (FSC). A total of $18,000 was awarded to 18 credit union members in Minnesota for the 2024-2025 school year.
Nearly 1,000 students from credit unions throughout the state applied for scholarships. Applicants were selected based on their essays submitted to the FSC. This year's essay question was: "What is the greatest gift you have ever received (object or life experience)? How did it impact you when you received it, and does it still hold meaning now? Would life be different if the "gift" was never received?"
Borash wrote, "As the child of farming parents, I can attest that growing up on a dairy farm has been the greatest experience I have ever received. Although it may not have always seemed like an ideal lifestyle through the eyes of my younger self, the barbed-wire boundaries of the farm have shaped me into the woman I am today."
Nicole Pfeffer, Community Outreach Manager at MMFCU said, "Our Mission is to improve financial well-being. We do that through financial education in our schools, providing scholarships in each community we serve and partnering at the state-level to offer additional scholarship opportunities to our members. When our communities and the people in them thrive, we all thrive."
