PIERRE S.D. – BankWest Scholarship applications are now available online or at BankWest branches throughout South Dakota. The bank will award 16 scholarships to high school seniors and undergraduate college students who meet the eligibility requirements. The application deadline is February 5, 2016.
BankWest Chairman, President and CEO Charles Burke III said each scholarship has a $1,500 value and may be used to fund tuition at any accredited, post-secondary educational institution during the 2016-17 school year. Involvement in community activities, personal character and academic integrity are the three primary areas of consideration in the application process.
"This is the 23rd year BankWest has provided scholarships to our area youth," Burke said. "Some of the brightest and most community-involved students come from South Dakota and this is one way that BankWest encourages them to pursue their academic dreams."
To apply for a 2016 BankWest Scholarship, students must meet the following criteria:
· Be a BankWest deposit account holder for a minimum of six months preceding the application deadline.
· Be a United States citizen.
· Be a high school senior or full-time undergraduate student currently attending an accredited post high school educational institution.
· Have not previously received a BankWest Scholarship.
· Attend a personal interview in Pierre on March 7 or 8, 2016, if chosen as a finalist.
Online applications may be found at: www.bankwest-sd.com. Scholarship finalists will be invited to BankWest's corporate office in Pierre for a personal interview during the week of March 7, 2016, and awards will be announced in April. Students who are not currently BankWest deposit account holders are invited to visit any BankWest branch and discuss opening an account and/or eligibility for next year's scholarship program.
