“Experian is proud to recognize and support exceptional academic achievement of our employee’s children with our College Scholarship Award program,” said Maxine Sweet, Vice President of Public Education at Experian. “Each year, the applicants impress us with their commitment to education, and involvement in their schools and communities. We applaud the support of their parents and are confident each scholarship recipient will be successful in college and future endeavors.”
