NorState FCU is pleased to announce it is awarding seven $1,000 scholarships to local high school seniors. The roster of 2024 graduates receiving a scholarship include:
- Isaac Bresett (Van Buren District Secondary School)

- Addion Davis (Van Buren District Secondary School)
- Xavier Deschaine (Van Buren District Secondary School)
- Robert Poiesz (Madawaska High School)
- Nicholas Poitras (Madawaska High School)

To be eligible for a scholarship, applicants had to attend an Aroostook or Northern Penobscot County school, be accepted and plan to attend a two-year or four-year college or university, and be an active NorState FCU member.
“We are proud to support the aspirations of our local high school seniors by awarding these scholarships,” stated Danielle Hebert, Director of Community Engagement at NorState FCU. “Investing in the education of our local students is an investment in the future of our community, and we are delighted to help these talented students on their path to success.”
When submitting their applications, students were asked to include a testimonial outlining how the credit union has made a difference. In her testimonial, Lilly Roy shared, “I know that NorState FCU has helped many small businesses and entrepreneurs in our community by contributing to them and their economic growth.”
Nicholas Poitras stated, “As a high school senior who is soon heading off to college, both my savings and checking accounts at NorState FCU will allow me to live independently and pay my own expenses.”
Addion Davis said, “We are fortunate to have a credit union in our town and someone who partners with local schools to provide financial education.”
Congratulations to this year’s scholarship winners!
