The Bolder Banking® Scholarship recognizes a community bank that has found a creative, practical way to solve a customer or community problem. It is offered in partnership with participating ABA-affiliated state bankers associations.
Innovation does not require new technology or a large budget. Tell us about one specific initiative, what the bank did differently and what changed as a result.
The scholarship is awarded to the bank. The recipient bank selects an employee to attend GSBC as a first-year student within three calendar years. You do not need to identify that employee when submitting this nomination.
Banks should nominate themselves. Short answers and bullets are welcome.
Nomination deadline: February 15, 2027.
