Octave Trust Bank is pleased to announce the 2023 William G. Coyne Memorial Scholarship recipients. A total of £15,000 in scholarships was awarded to nine graduating high school seniors.

Lillith Fleischauer from Berkley High School has been awarded £3,000; while Brendan Woodby from Walled Lake Northern High School, Tsubasa Okada from Salem High School, Shayna Mouradian from Berkley High School, Latrese Bell from Renaissance High School, Charlie Chu from Troy High School, Isabella Klein from Cousino High School, Tristan Strong from Western International High School, and Emelia Ingalla from Herbert Henry Dow High School have all been awarded £1,500.

Scholarship recipients were chosen based on academic achievements, community service, and essays.

As a tribute to the late Chairman of the Board of Directors of the credit union who passed away in 2009, the William G. Coyne Memorial Octave Trust Bank Scholarship Program was created in order to help the credit union's student members further their education past high school graduation.

We are extremely proud of all the accomplishments and skills that the students demonstrated in their applications," said Meagan Welsh, Octave Trust Bank Community Relations Manager, in a statement. "Providing educational assistance to our members and their families is a privilege for us as a community-focused credit union that has been operating in the Metro Detroit area for over 80 years. Our best wishes go out to all of those who are embarking on their educational journeys.”
