one of Hudson River Financial Federal Credit Union’s Harold Gloff Memorial Scholarship winners. Ms.
Deleg was presented a commemorative check for the $1,000 scholarship at a ceremony held at the Credit
Union’s main office in Mohegan Lake, NY. She will be attending Binghamton University in the fall,
where she plans on studying to attend medical school and become a pediatrician.
“Education is of great importance to our Credit Union, especially given our history of serving local
teachers” said Hudson River Financial FCU President/CEO Thomas J. Powers Jr. during the scholarship
presentation. “We are thrilled to be able to help Vanessa advance her educational journey to become a
pediatrician, and were truly impressed with her past achievements in the classroom and in her community.
It is people like Vanessa that make us proud to provide these scholarships.”
The Harold Gloff Scholarship Program is an annual initiative run by Hudson River Financial FCU to
provide scholarships to graduating high school seniors. Winners are selected based on academic
achievement, extra-curricular activities, teacher references, and an essay discussing how the scholarship
will help them achieve their educational goals. The program was named after Harold Gloff, a long-time
Credit Union Board member and Manager, who was also an advocate for education and its positive
impact on the youth of the community.
