First State Bank of Campbell Hill presented students with the opportunity to participate in CBAI’s Foundation for Community Banking 2019 Annual Scholarship Program. This program is a statewide essay writing contest that requires students to write an essay on each of three topics concerning the impact/importance of community banking on themselves, someone they know and their communities.

In support of the statewide contest, Frist State Bank of Campbell Hill locally awarded three $500 scholarships to students who elected to participate in the contest. One $500 scholarship was awarded to a participating senior from Trico, Steeleville & Coulterville School Districts.

2019 Scholarship recipients:

• Elizabeth Froemling—Trico High School
• Tori Hanna—Coulterville High School
• Zachary Knop—Steeleville High School

This year Elizabeth Froemling from Trico High School was also selected as the second-place winner in CBAI Group 12 for her essay. She received an additional $500 in scholarship funds from CBAI.
