Deadline:

Greetings Senior!

Yes, we said SENIOR! You are now officially a senior in high school! With that, we invite you to apply for the 2021-2022 Valley Banks COMMUNITY Scholarship.

Senior Student Information

Goal of the Scholarship Plan

Provide a local scholarship program to be used by area graduating Seniors for secondary education. This can also be used by Home School Seniors within the school district.

The scholarship will be funded by donations from various events to be put on by the bank and the local community. The community is made up of businesses in town that strongly support our young people’s education. Please support them as you are out shopping this year.

After the kick-off event, donations will be accepted throughout the year at the Valley Bank and from bank customers who would like to “round off” their transactions.

These funds will accumulate throughout the year. At the end of each school year, the funds will be divided equally between all qualifying applicants.

It is always our hope to have every graduating senior that plans to continue their education, participate in the Valley Banks Community Scholarship! We welcome the Class of 2022!
