Park State Bank Scholarship Program 2023-2024

Students tossing graduation caps

Park State Bank believes in helping students achieve their dreams of higher education. That’s why we are proud to offer four non-renewable $1500 scholarships to qualified, and committee selected graduating seniors who will be attending a community college or four-year university. This program was instituted at Park State Bank as a way to show our commitment to the community and our belief in today’s youth.

Ideal candidates will be students of excellent academic achievement, who possess a variety of interests and leadership experience, show consistent community involvement, and the willing desire to make their community a better place. Knowledge is power, and education is the key to a better future for everyone.
