bankHometown Awards $28,000 in Scholarships to 14 Local Students through QVCC Foundation

bankHometown recently awarded $28,000 in scholarships to 14 local students through the Quinebaug Valley Community College (QVCC) Foundation, whose mission is to raise funds so all residents of northeastern Connecticut are provided the opportunity to attend school regardless of income. This Foundation helps support educational excellence, technological advancement, and professional development at the college, and serves as the regional advisory council.

Earlier this month the QVCC Foundation held its 32nd Annual Scholarship Night at the Killingly Intermediate School in Dayville, Conn. bankHometown Senior Vice President, Retail Banking, Sharon Mahlert, awarded these scholarships to returning and transferring students within the bank’s Connecticut footprint.

“What an amazing opportunity to recognize these deserving students,” said Mahlert. “bankHometown is thrilled to provide these students with financial support on their journey to unlocking their potential.”

Nearly 120 scholarships totaling more than $183,000 were awarded to 112 local students. These scholarships support direct educational expenses including tuition, books, fees, technology, and other course requirements.
