About the Alfred A. Panfile Scholarship

Every year, Diamond presents local students with the Alfred A. Panfile Scholarship. Although this scholarship’s parameters have been evolving since it was first created, the significance and legacy has not changed. Diamond created the scholarship to honor one of the Credit Union’s volunteer Board of Directors, Alfred A. Panfile. Panfile demonstrated a true passion for improving his community and the credit union.

Where inspiration meets impact, that’s Younity.
