Marquette Bank, a locally owned neighborhood bank, continued its tradition of awarding scholarships to local graduating seniors.
This year, the Marquette Bank Education Foundation (MBEF) awarded individual scholarships of $2,500 to 64 graduating seniors from Chicago area schools.
“As Marquette Bank celebrates our 80th anniversary, we’re pleased to support students who have shown a strong commitment to their communities through their volunteer service,” said Betty Harn, executive vice president. “As a neighborhood bank, it is our hope that these students become the business and civic leaders of tomorrow.”
The scholarship program is funded by the MBEF, and scholarships are awarded to students chosen by their school’s guidance counselors and principals.
Since 1968, more than $4 million has been awarded to over 2,000 high school seniors from Chicagoland neighborhoods. Students were selected based on financial need, scholastic achievement and a record of volunteer service in their communities. The scholarship can be used for any post-secondary education program, including four-year universities, community colleges and vocational training schools.
