From Delta Community Credit Union: Delta Community Credit Union, Georgia’s largest credit union with more than $5 billion in assets, announces that a Gwinnett County student is the latest recipient of a Delta Community & 104 HBCU Scholarship.

Seventeen-year- old Joreal Eady, a senior at Discovery High School, recently accepted the $2,000 award from Delta Community CEO Hank Halter. Joreal has been accepted to both Clark Atlanta University and Albany State University, and is considering a career in healthcare management.

In addition to maintaining a rigorous academic schedule, she is active in many school and community activities, including the Secretary of State Student Ambassadors program, Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) and is a volunteer at SaltLight emergency shelter.
