Announcement of 2008 Harold Hewitt Scholarship Recipients

On Monday, May 26, 2008, Windsor Family Credit Union (WFCU) announced the recipients of the 2008 Harold Hewitt Scholarship (HHS).

During Education Week, youth enrolled in JK to Grade 12 were invited to answer the question, 'Why are we so lucky to live in Windsor and Essex County?'

Sixteen recipients were chosen to receive this special scholarship that has been established by WFCU as an annual contribution to post secondary education for youth in our community. This special scholarship was inspired by the late Harold Hewitt, WFCU’s long term Director on their Board whose dedication to the community was an integral part of the Credit Union. Over the past six years Windsor Family has presented 64 youth in our community with post secondary school scholarships through the Harold Hewitt Scholarship program totaling $27,000.

The following youth were selected as recipients of the 2008 WFCU Harold Hewitt Scholarship:

JK - Grade 2 (awarded $100 scholarship each)

Grade 3 - 5  (awarded $200 scholarship each)

Grade 6 - 8 (awarded $300 scholarship each)

Grade 9 - 10 (awarded $400 scholarship each)
