Engel awarded $1,000 Scholarship from WESTconsin Credit Union

MENOMONIE, WI — WESTconsin Credit Union, an advocate for education, has recently awarded twelve $1,000 scholarships to area high school seniors as part of the WESTconsin Scholarship Program. Recipients were selected based on a variety of criteria including community and school involvement, academic progress, financial need, career plans and goals.

Maxwell Engel, Boyceville High School graduate, was the chosen scholarship recipient from the Menomonie area.

Engel will use the money to help fund his post-secondary education plans at The College of Wooster, where he will be studying political science.

For over 20 years, WESTconsin has distributed over $250,000 to help support the higher education goals of area students. Scholarships are awarded annually to youth members from communities served by WESTconsin offices.
