The scholarship is based on outstanding academic achievement, community involvement and an essay submission.

Tekenbroek is considering Hillsdale College and Cornell University with plans to major in finance with a career goal of becoming a financial planner.

He is one of five students in Georgia to receive the Delta scholarship.

“We are proud to support these hard-working students so they may focus on pursuing their academic goals,” Delta Community CEO Hank Halter said. “We hope these students will, in turn, achieve their career aspirations and develop as leaders in their chosen professions who share our commitment to foster collaboration and prosperity in local communities.”

In addition to its Scholarship Program, Delta Community also offers an annual Philanthropic Fund, more than 160 free financial literacy classes and workshops annually through its award-winning Financial Education Center, and quarterly scholarships for students attending Historically Black Colleges or Universities.
