USF Federal Credit Union Awards Carolyn Parslow Scholarship on Behalf of Tampa Chapter of Credit Unions
Tampa, FL (PRWEB) September 27, 2016 -- USF Federal Credit Union (USF FCU) is excited to announce that their member, Stefanie Palfi, has been selected as one of three recipients for the 2016 Carolyn Parslow Scholarship. The Carolyn Parslow Scholarship was created with the purpose of helping high school seniors go after their dreams. To be eligible, applicants must be a member of a credit union affiliated with the Tampa Chapter of Credit Unions and display academic, extracurricular and community achievements.
This summer, Palfi graduated from Hillsborough High School with ambitious goals for her future. She will attend the University of South Florida’s Tampa campus in the fall and plans to major in biomedical sciences with a minor in psychology. Palfi has demonstrated an aptitude for chemistry and hopes to translate her degree into opening her own pediatrics practice one day. When asked what her main motivation is, Palfi said, “I want to be able to help people and have the knowledge to do it right.”
Palfi has participated in many organizations; including, Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA); Peer Motivation; Students Working Against Tobacco (SWAT); and SkillsUSA. Her volunteer experience with Metropolitan Ministries was particularly rewarding and led her to pursue a medical degree. Since Palfi graduated high school, she has shown impressive determination by applying for several scholarships. In her words, “Earning this [Carolyn Parslow] scholarship takes my mind off financial pressures and I can focus more on my academics.” USF FCU is proud to be a part of the Tampa Chapter of Credit Unions and support students, like Palfi, with continuing their education.
