Annual Scholarship Program

Scholarship Value: $4,000
Awards Available: 24

The CBAI Foundation for Community Banking provides $21,000 in scholarship funds for top high school seniors statewide. One semi‐finalist may be chosen from each of the CBAI groups via an essay‐writing contest. We have the ability to award a $1,000 scholarship to a student in 11 of CBAI’s 12 groups along with $500 to a second place person in each group, which assures geographical uniformity of winners. The statewide winner will win $1,000 a year for up to four years of higher education. And, as in previous years, the high school of the overall winner will receive $500. Your bank’s chance of sponsoring a winner is better than ever!

It costs nothing for your bank to be involved and there are “no strings attached”! However, the banks reaping the greatest benefits are those which offer local scholarships in addition to the $21,000 the Foundation has made available for awards statewide.

Through promotion of the Scholarship Program to the community‐at‐large, as well as involvement with students, participating banks have gained a higher profile or their community‐service efforts. Local high‐school administrators, teachers and guidance counselors appreciate the scholarship opportunities as well. It is, however not necessary to work through your local school(s). Banks can promote the program at‑large and take the applications and essays directly. Each bank then judges the essays and sends the best to the CBAI Foundation.

Your bank can harvest more publicity, better community goodwill, and a higher profile — all with minimal effort and expense. It also can be applied toward your CRA requirement
