CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CLASS OF 2019 - AND TO OUR SCHOLARSHIP AWARD WINNERS!
Brian A. Orenstein, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and Joyce Gresh, Supervisory Committee Chairperson, presented 45 college scholarships totaling $90,000 during the credit union’s annual scholarship reception on May 29th.

For five consecutive years, Charter Oak has recognized the achievements of students throughout New London and Windham counties via its $90,000 scholarship giveaway, and has rewarded 221 students with scholarships totaling $442,000 during that time. Our scholarship program is notable throughout the region for its guarantee to award one $2,000 college scholarship to one college-bound senior at each high school within New London and Windham counties with an attendance of at least 100 students. Additional scholarships are given to students already enrolled in college. Recipients of Charter Oak’s scholarships tend to excel academically and most importantly take an active role in supporting local community initiatives.
