Tri Counties Bank Grants $110,000 in Scholarships for California Graduating High School Seniors

Tri Counties Bank, in partnership with the Community Foundation of the North State, issued $110,000 in scholarships this May to graduating high school seniors throughout California. The scholarships ranged between $1,000 to $1,500 each, and were awarded to 80 students from 55 high schools in 24 counties.

Tri Counties Bank provides two scholarship opportunities: an income-based scholarship for students with a Student Aid Index (SAI) of 0 or less and a minimum GPA of 2.5, and a merit-based scholarship for students with a weighted cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher.

Sixty $1,500 scholarships were awarded to low-to-moderate income students and twenty $1,000 scholarships were awarded based on merit. Scholarship funds will be sent directly to the students’ chosen accredited college, university or trade school to assist with education expenses.

“A key element of fulfilling Tri Counties Bank’s mission is to invest in our students, who will, in turn, strengthen our communities,” said Rick Smith, President and CEO of Tri Counties Bank. “Of the nearly 700 applications submitted, the 80 students awarded demonstrated outstanding achievement in academics, public service or business entrepreneurship. We are proud to assist with their goal of higher education.”
