Bank offering new I
scholarship program '
This year Dacotah Bank introduced a new scholarship program. In the past
Dacotah Bank has partnered with the South Dakota Bankers Association to
provide scholarships for high school seniors.
A change in the SDBA program focusing SDBA supported scholarships to-
ward secondary education students focusing their career on financial
services
lead to the creation of this new Dacotah Bank Scholarship Program. Dacotah
Bank has been happy to help youth in the communities they serve move on
to secondary schools and wanted this support to continue. In order to be
eli-
gible, high school seniors must be attending a higher education institute
in
South Dakota, North Dakota or Minnesota, and have an account with Daco-
tah Bank.
Each.Dacotah Bank market has been allotted a $1,000 scholarship to award
a student that fits eligibility requirements and completes the application
in its
entirety. Dacotah Bank will choose the two highest scoring applications out
of the submission pool to receive a $2,000 scholarship. These two winners
are
not eligible for the $1,000 location scholarship, and another application
from
that location will be chosen.
Robert Fouberg, Dacotah Bank president and CEO stated, “Dacotah Bank
and the communities in which we live, and work depend on a quality work-
force. Inasmuch as post-secondary education represents a huge financial
com-
mitment, we feel it is important to invest in the next generation.”
