About the Bolder Banking Scholarship

The Bolder Banking Scholarship recognizes community banks that are boldly innovating to serve their customers and communities. In partnership with the Graduate School of Banking at Colorado (GSBC) and its co-sponsoring bankers associations, one member bank per state is awarded this scholarship each year.

The scholarship covers one-third of GSBC’s annual tuition (applied to all three years) and must be used within three (3) calendar years. Recipient banks designate an employee to apply the award toward their GSBC education.

Nominations are open through February 1, 2026. Recipients will be announced by March 1, 2026.
