TruBank Simpson College Scholarship
11/06/2024
In an era where education costs continue to rise, scholarships are invaluable resources that can make the dream of higher education a reality for many students. TruBank plays a significant role in fostering educational opportunities for students with its Simpson College Scholarship.
The eligibility requirements for this scholarship are simple – live in an Iowa county directly served by TruBank (Warren, Polk, Dallas, Jasper, Mahaska, or Keokuk) and attend Simpson College.
Four graduating high school seniors are awarded a $2,500 scholarship after submitting a scholarship application each year. Applications are available at area schools. You may also contact [email protected] to receive a copy of the application. Applications are due by February 15, 2025.
Awarded students continue to receive the scholarship money each year thereafter for four years while enrolled at Simpson College. Therefore, 16 college students have the proud distinction of being a TruBank scholarship recipient. That is $40,000 gifted each year! When considering TruBank has been doing this scholarship since 2001, that is a lot of student impacted and benefited!
“By investing in education, TruBank is sowing the seeds for a brighter future, where individuals are equipped with the knowledge and skills to drive positive change within their communities,” explains TruBank CEO Keith Welling.
Inquiry into this scholarship applications can be made by contacting TruBank, Simpson College Office of Financial Aid, or area high school guidance counselors.
