First State Bank invites local high school seniors to apply for one of ten $1,000 scholarships being offered in 2023 to help with their post-secondary education.

Applicants must be attending a high school located in a community where First State Bank has a branch location, or either the applicant or their parent(s) must be a First State Bank customer.

Applicants also must be enrolling with an accredited college, university, or technical school on a full-time basis for the term immediately following graduation from high school.

“It is inspiring to learn about the various careers our applicants are pursuing and how they plan to positively impact their field or trade,” said vice president of marketing, Brenda Hansen. “Through our scholarship program, we hope to give our recipients better opportunity to focus their energy on attaining career goals and returning to our communities to keep our area workforces strong.”

The bank is accepting applications through Friday, March 31.
