As a community lender for my entire career, I think it’s fantastic that the bank seeks out the community works on education, which really comes back to the bank, it’s great opportunity for children to expand their education.

This scholarship will help me to be able to focus on what I’m studying, and it will help alleviate some of the stress of paying for college. So I can really focus on what’s important and learn as much as I can.

And I think the fact that it’s a one community scholarship, so is it all you all of these great kids from many different communities really stepping up, especially over this past year to serve and help their communities. So the fact that the bank supports that encourages that and really inspires that in our young student leaders for the future, I think is tremendous.
