Peshtigo National Bank proudly announces that over $10,000 in Fair Scholarships has been awarded this year to more than 100 young individuals across the communities we serve. Each student received $100, representing not only an investment in local youth but also a testament to the growing success of this initiative.
Now in its second year, the Fair Scholarship program has seen remarkable growth. In its inaugural year, over 60 applications were received, resulting in $6,000 in scholarships awarded. This year, interest more than doubled, with over 100 applications submitted and more than $10,000 awarded — a clear sign of the impact and enthusiasm the program is generating among local students and families.
“At Peshtigo National Bank, we believe that investing in our youth is investing in the future of our communities,” said Kelly Heroux, President & CEO of Peshtigo National Bank. “The growth of this program from $6,000 in scholarships last year to over $10,000 this year speaks to the dedication of our students and the importance of supporting community traditions like our county fairs.”
Applicants were evaluated based on their animal projects and the practices and responsibilities leading up to the fair. Their responses highlighted a strong commitment to hard work, responsibility, and community pride.
Peshtigo National Bank extends congratulations to all scholarship recipients and looks forward to continuing this tradition in future years.
