Levo has awarded $1,000 each to six area students for their contributions to their community. Levo started the Levo Cares Scholarship Program in 2010. Since then, Levo has awarded more than $39,000 in scholarships to area students. The six winners were selected based on community service and academic excellence from a field of 32 applicants. “Since we were founded in 1934, Levo has believed in giving back to our community,” says Jen McKeown with the Levo Cares Foundation. “What better way to do that than to give back to these students who have learned the value of community service at such a young age?” This year, Levo increased the number of students winning scholarships from five to six because of increased need due to increasing college expenses. Students submitted essays or videos sharing how they have served their community as well as recommendation letters. The applicants were also judged on academic excellence. The winners include:
“These young adults are incredible examples of the impact one person can have on improving the lives of others,” says McKeown. “They have all made a positive difference in the lives of many people and deserve to be recognized!” For more information about how Levo gives back to the community or to donate to the Levo Cares Foundation, go to: https://www.levo.org/about/levo-cares-foundation. Levo Credit Union was chartered in 1934 and is South Dakota’s oldest credit union. The not-for-profit cooperative has over 34,000 members with six Sioux Falls locations and serves 29 counties in South Dakota, North Dakota, Iowa, and Minnesota. Comments are closed.
