A local scholarship program helps both graduating high school seniors and area businesses. The Taylorville Community Credit Union's scholarship program will award 500 dollar scholarships to two seniors from each Taylorville, Litchfield and Hillsboro high schools.
According to TCCU President Will Perkins, this is the second year of the program and over 50 businesses participated in the program this year.
