The Com­mu­ni­ty Care Cred­it Union (CC­CU) has dis­trib­uted 13 bur­sary schol­ar­ships to stu­dents who ex­celled in the 2024 SEA ex­ams.

For the past 30 years, the pres­ti­gious David Dou­glas Bur­sary Schol­ar­ship has been award­ed in ho­n­our of Dou­glas, a for­mer board mem­ber whose sig­nif­i­cant con­tri­bu­tions have been in­stru­men­tal in CC­CU’s growth and suc­cess.

In a re­lease, the CC­CU, pre­vi­ous­ly known as Lever Broth­ers Cred­it Union, said the or­gan­i­sa­tion con­tin­ued to recog­nise and re­ward aca­d­e­m­ic ex­cel­lence among its young savers.

This year, CC­CU award­ed the schol­ar­ships to 13 out­stand­ing young savers who ex­celled in their Sec­ondary As­sess­ment Ex­am­i­na­tion (SEA).

The de­serv­ing re­cip­i­ents were cel­e­brat­ed for their re­mark­able achieve­ments at a spe­cial cer­e­mo­ny host­ed by the Ed­u­ca­tion Com­mit­tee chair

Si­mone Cal­len­der.

“The David Dou­glas Bur­sary Schol­ar­ship em­bod­ies our com­mit­ment to fos­ter­ing aca­d­e­m­ic ex­cel­lence and per­son­al de­vel­op­ment with­in our com­mu­ni­ty,” said Cal­len­der

“CC­CU re­mains ded­i­cat­ed to em­pow­er­ing the next gen­er­a­tion through fi­nan­cial sup­port and ed­u­ca­tion­al op­por­tu­ni­ties, con­tin­u­ing to up­hold David Dou­glas’s lega­cy by nur­tur­ing the lead­ers of to­mor­row.”
