Heritage Land Bank recently awarded a total of $15,000 to six high school seniors in north and east Texas.

The high school seniors were selected from a competitive pool of applicants based upon merit, scholastic achievement, extracurricular activities and leadership qualities. Each applicant also submitted an essay on how the funds would help them achieve their future academic and career goals.

“We are honored to expand the scholarship program in 2021 to award financial support to a larger number of deserving high school seniors,” said Heritage Land Bank Chief Executive Officer Bill Tandy. “The academic and extracurricular achievements by this year’s applicants were exceptional, and we look forward to seeing what these students will achieve in the future.”
