Local Government Federal Credit Union congratulates Charley Bradley of Rocky Mount, who is the recipient of an LGFCU Scholarship Award.

Bradley, a senior at Rocky Mount Preparatory School, will use his $500 scholarship to study physical education at Nash Community College.

He is one of 21 high school seniors and post-secondary students who will have extra money to apply toward their education at the university, community or technical college of their choice.

"This is the 10th consecutive year we have offered this scholarship, bringing the total award money to date to $215,000," LGFCU President Maurice Smith said. "It's a real pleasure to reward these fine adults for not only getting top-notch grades, but also for finding the drive to take active roles in their communities. We applaud them and wish them luck in their studies and beyond."

The LGFCU Scholarship Award recognizes a student's high achievement in extracurricular activities, as well as academic excellence.
