Dianna Marin, a student at Oklahoma City University, has a little extra incentive to hit the books this semester.
Marin is a winner of Tinker Federal Credit Union’s, TFCU annual Win Your Break contest, and received a $500 travel voucher for her next college break.
“I’ve never won anything, so I was surprised,” she said.
OCU is a TFCU Partner school, and the credit union awards a prize to one OCU student at the conclusion of the annual contest.
Marin is pursuing a degree in nursing and is set to graduate in May.
A mother of five children, she has thought about celebrating her graduation by using the voucher to take her family to Six Flags.
TFCU offers the Win Your Break contest through its Buck The Norm program.
Buck The Norm is a financial empowerment program that encourages young adults to change the way they think, act and feel about their money, and offers tools and resources to assist in money management.
In addition to Marin’s prize, TFCU gave away another 15 $500 travel vouchers and a $2,000 grand prize travel voucher to full-time students at various colleges and technology centers.
TFCU is the largest credit union in Oklahoma, with over $2.8 billion in assets and over 260,000 members.
