CHANTILLY, VA (July 20, 2020) — Justice Federal Credit Union is pleased to announce the recipients of the Building Futures across the Nation, Annual Scholarship Competition. The following Members selected by the Justice Federal Scholarship Committee were awarded a scholarship: Maggie Walker, Jordyn Harris, Douglas Gilmer, Eric Elg, Emily Savino, Isha Das, Allison Tenney, Aditya Dilip, John Kersellius, Hayden Perry, Alexandra Lum, Natalie Schwartz and Sean Sippel.

“Despite the pandemic, we cannot cancel the dreams and hopes of our young people seeking to further their education. We remain committed to investing in those dreams. Our scholarship recipients encompass all life stages— from high school graduates to seasoned career employees, but they all have in common a passion for changing the world either through furthering a career in the field of justice, or their desire to give back by helping others in the community. We are pleased to invest in their future growth and development,” said Mark L. Robnett, President and CEO.

Justice Federal has awarded scholarships to student Members in pursuit of higher education since the program’s inception in 2008. Student Members must be in good standing with the Credit Union in order to compete. Scholarship award recipients are selected based on the following criteria— academic performance, community involvement, personal goals, and financial need.  Fifty percent of all awards are dedicated to student Members pursuing a degree in the field of Justice.

In addition to the Scholarship Competition, Justice Federal offers a comprehensive suite of Student Services. Easy access to funds are provided via a Student Rewards VISA Debit Card with online and mobile banking and mobile wallet solutions, all securely accessed with Touch ID, Face ID, or PIN sign-in to keep students connected. Students may also visit nearly 150,000 surcharge-free ATMs, over 5,900 shared-branches, and 28 Justice Federal branch locations nationwide.
