This year marks the seventh year York Educational Federal Credit Union (YEFCU) has awarded two $500 Dave Baker York Educational Federal Credit Union Scholarships. The 2019 recipients are Jonathan Gutekunst and Ellen Korver.
Established by the board of directors in 2012 to recognize retired YEFCU president/CEO Dave Baker, the scholarship has the following requirements: the applicant must be a member of YEFCU, be graduating from a local high school, and be attending an institution of higher education in the fall. Applicants are judged by YEFCU's Scholarship Committee based on their academic achievements, their school and community activities, letters of recommendation, and an essay about a credit union-related topic of 400 words or more.
