2014 Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship

The goal of The Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship is to assist deserving high school seniors in their first year of college and to promote community banking.

1. Open to Georgia high school seniors who will be entering a Georgia university, college, or technical school (if program is two or more years) in the fall quarter of 2014. Scholarship funds will be awarded to another student if program is not started in that quarter.
2. Requirements

• a) Complete Application.
• b) Complete Activity Record.
• c) Complete Essay
• d) Complete Qualifications (1 Page Completed by a Teacher).
• e) Complete High School Transcript (and SAT and/or ACT Scores if Available).

3. Awards are based on academic merit, not financial need.
   
4. At least four (4) $1,000 scholarships funded by the Community Bankers Association of Georgia
   (CBA) and its membership will be awarded.
5. Scholarship funds are paid by the CBA directly to the college, university or technical institute
   to an account in the student’s name to be applied toward tuition, books and expenses.
6. The CBA recommends that a local community bank also award a scholarship to their individual
   applicant; however, the bank is not required to do this.
7. All winning or selected applicants from each community bank will be forwarded to the CBA
   office for review and will be presented to the Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship
   committee.
8. The Committee will make a final choice of at least four (4) applicants chosen to receive the
   scholarships. A notice of the applicants chosen will be mailed to the sponsoring community
   bank president. The four (4) award recipients will be notified by the CBA and the sponsoring
   bank.
9. Any award not utilized may, at the Committee’s discretion, be used to increase the number of
   awards for the next year, or the scholarship may be awarded to one of the semi-finalists.
