Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship

The Community Bankers Association of Georgia (CBA) is pleased to present applications for the 2013 Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship. This scholarship is an opportunity for students to learn more about the importance of community banking and what it represents in the community.

The Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship is open to Georgia high school seniors who will be entering a Georgia college, university or technical college (two-year program or more) in the fall semester of 2013. It is not a requirement for students to concentrate on or major in financial studies during their college career. Students can either be members of your community or your banking institution.

The scholarship is named after long-time CBA Chief Executive Officer, the late Julian Hester and his late daughter, Jan Hester. Jan was a senior at the University of Georgia when she died in an auto accident on April 15, 1990. In addition to supporting community banking, this scholarship is an opportunity to pass on the positive qualities both Julian and Jan Hester exemplified to further the development of tomorrow’s generations.
As in past years, CBA will award one $1,000 scholarship to four (4) deserving students.
