The Teachers Credit Union presented Questa with a $5,000 donation on behalf of the TCU Foundation. With the funds awarded from the TCU Foundation, Questa will support additional scholars studying education. The TCU Foundation focuses on lifelong learning, helping those to achieve financial success through financial education, mentoring, scholarships, educational programs, and member matching initiatives.
Last year, Questa received $2,500 from TCU Foundation, which enabled us to fund a new scholar from Allen County, majoring in business. This student was the first to go to college in their family and is expected to graduate with a bachelor’s degree in May 2025.
The Questa Scholars program directly addresses community needs by helping local students achieve their education and encouraging talented graduates to remain in our community to build our workforce. Questa tracks success in achieving enrollment, graduation, and retention of scholars. Beyond the individuals directly helped, this program serves as inspiration for future students. Available college funding helps local students realize their college goals are attainable. One scholar noted, "To me, being a Questa Scholar means that my community cares enough to invest in me to live and work here."
