LMCU Announces 2023-24 Hutt Scholarship Essay Contest
Grand Rapids, MI. (October 12, 2023) – Lake Michigan Credit Union (LMCU) has announced the topic for its annual Llyod F. Hutt Scholarship essay contest. The contest provides high school seniors the opportunity to win one of 20 individual $2,000 scholarships that can be used at a college, university, or trade school. This scholarship program honors the legacy of LMCU founder and teacher, Lloyd F. Hutt, and his lifelong commitment to education and community involvement.
To commemorate LMCU’s 90th anniversary, the essay topic for the 2023-24 Hutt Scholarship is: “LMCU is celebrating its 90th birthday! What would you like to see celebrated by the time you’re 90?”
The entry period officially opened on October 1, 2023, and will remain open until January 5, 2024. Applicants are required to write an original 750-1,500-word essay exploring the topic. Essays will be evaluated by an independent panel of judges, and the principal determining factor in selecting scholarship recipients is the applicant’s passion for the topic. Additionally, the committee will use comprehension of subject, organization, language use, originality, clarity, spelling, and grammar as criteria for selecting the recipients.
