NARBERTH AREA HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR RECOGNIZED IN FIRSTRUST BANK'S SAMUEL A. GREEN SCHOLARSHIP AWARDS

Local student Alexander Friend from Narberth received $1000 toward his college education from Firstrust Bank’s 44th Annual Samuel A. Green Scholarship Awards.  The new graduates were selected based on their written responses to a topic that is rooted in the mission of Firstrust, “How My College Education Will Help Me Cultivate Prosperity in My Community.”

The Samuel A. Green Scholarship Program has helped Firstrust award almost a million dollars to more than 1,000 area college-bound students and families, and this year an unprecedented $55,000 was distributed among 34 gifted regional high school seniors.

“The amount of talent and enthusiasm that these students put forth every year never ceases to amaze me, even after all this time,” said Mr. Green.  “The heights that these students will reach are limitless, and it is an honor to help them get there.”

Alexander Friend, a senior at Harriton High School, will be attending Temple University in the fall.
