Karnes County National Bank has established a scholarship program to assist high school seniors from select high schools in Texas who plan to continue their education in college or vocational school programs.
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team.

High school seniors who are dependents of Karnes County Bank employees are eligible to apply provided they meet all other eligibility requirements.
If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $1,000 award. Up to four (4) awards will be granted with preference to one recipient per high school.
Awards may be renewed for up to three additional years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first. Renewal is contingent upon maintaining a minimum grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale in a full-time course of study and continuation of the program by Karnes County National Bank.
Renewals can be used for graduate study if bachelor’s degree has been completed and there are remaining renewals.
