Virginia Bankers Association Bank Day Scholarships

Scholarship Sponsored by Virginia Bankers Association

Value: $7,500
Awards Available: 13

The third Tuesday in March was declared Bank Day in Virginia by the Virginia General Assembly in 1991. On this day, Virginia high school seniors learn about banking, financial services, career opportunities in the industry and the vital role banks play in their communities.

From their experience, the students are required to write an essay, and thirteen scholarships (six honorable mention, six regional, and one statewide) will be awarded on the basis of the essays.

The 2023 Bank Day Scholarship Program will be held in a hybrid format, with content provided from the VBA and in-person or virtual experiences provided by your bank! Students will have access to a VBA-created Bank Day resource page over a three week window from March 13-31, 2023. This resource page will house all relevant information that students will need to research and complete their essay for a chance to win college scholarships. The VBA will also provide recommendations for how to host your students on your Bank Day, no matter what format you choose.

Student Participation Criteria

  • Currently enrolled as a high school senior in a Virginia high school
  • Cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher
  • Resident of Virginia
  • Teacher/guidance counselor contact information provided by student
