Liberty Savings Announces 2021 Scholarship Program — One $500 scholarship offered to every high school in Hudson County

Liberty Savings Announces 2021 Scholarship Program

JERSEY CITY of Liberty Savings Higher education comes with its fair share of challenges, including the added pressure of financial stress.

To combat this ongoing issue, Federal Credit Union has renewed its extensive Hudson County scholarship program. Like last year, Liberty Savings is offering one $500 scholarship to every high school in Hudson County.

“No child’s future should be weighed down by the stresses associated with student debt,” said To Prittle Prattle news Maria Solorzano, President/CEO, Liberty Savings. “Although tuition is a major factor in how much graduates owe, many forget that the costs associated with textbooks, software, and even food can be so strenuous that young adults either halt or quit their studies altogether. Liberty Savings is proud to help ease the transition between high school and secondary education with this county-wide scholarship program.”

According to US News and World Report, the average graduate has over $32,000 of student debt to their name. Now, more than ever, scholarships play a major role in how students face this challenge head-on. National organizations have offered some relief but having local resources for students pursuing higher education is critical to ensuring everyone has a fair chance to get support.

As an institution founded by public school teachers, Liberty Savings knows that education is the cornerstone to brighter futures. The benefits of a secondary education extend beyond an individual. When students rise, communities rise with them.
