RBFCU Awards More Than $5,000 in Scholarships to San Antonio-area Students

LIVE OAK, Texas (May 21, 2019) — Randolph-Brooks Federal Credit Union awarded $5,450 in scholarships to 11 students in the San Antonio area last week. These scholarships were awarded as part of the Youth Advisory Council, a program that encourages financial awareness and confidence.

Students were selected based on their performance in the program, which included attending RBFCU events, making financial education presentations, creating video projects, and more.

“The Youth Advisory Council was established to help encourage our future community leaders to be confident in their financial decisions and well-being”, said Jennifer Crawford, Senior Financial Literacy Specialist at RBFCU. “This is also a great opportunity for the credit union to give back to the community and help give these students a head start as they move forward in their academic careers.”

The Youth Advisory Council program provides students ages 16-22 an opportunity to learn how a financial institution operates, participate in community service activities, and earn educational scholarships. The program is in its ninth year and is led by the credit union’s Financial Education Team.
