fcfulogoNatalija Vnukovica knew early on that she wanted to work in finance and has been working towards her dream for the past two years at Austin Peay State University.  As with most university students, paying for school meant that Natalija had to split her time between working and studying, which inevitably took some of her focus away from school.   However, after receiving the Fort Campbell Federal Credit Union Scholarship for the 2008-2009 school year, Natalija was not only able to focus on her classes and maintain an A average, she gave back to the community by volunteering with the United Way.

“Since the scholarship allowed me to focus on school, I felt that since I was being given help I should give back to someone else.”  The 25 year old volunteered to do taxes through the United Way every Tuesday as well as becoming involved in the International Student Program on campus.
