Pair of Notre Dame seniors get special scholarship from credit union.
Seniors Richelle Wilson and Nicholas Durham, who will be graduating from Notre Dame Prep this Sunday, have been awarded “Make a Difference” scholarships from the Alliance Catholic Credit Union.
According to Alliance, which is based in Southfield, the two students each were awarded a one-year $1,000 scholarship to be applied toward their 2017/2018 college tuition.
The “Make a Difference” program was created to award educational scholarships to students who demonstrate a commitment to making a difference in the lives of others through their volunteer services in their school, parish, and/or community. Finalists were selected based on merit and a personal essay.
