Woonsocket, April 1 – Dakotaland Federal Credit Union recently honored eight area youth with $8,000 in college scholarships for the 2015-16 school year.

“This year there were more applicants than I’ve seen in the past three years,” stated Scholarship Committee Member and Member Services Representative, Kelly Hills of the Madison Branch Office “The caliber of applicants was very strong and produced an impressive bunch of young people to review in the selection process.
