Lumbee Guaranty Bank has established a scholarship program to assist high school seniors from select high schools 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 scholarships 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.

Applicants to the Lumbee Guaranty Bank Scholarship Program must:

  • Be a graduating high school senior from one of the following high schools:
    • Fairmont High School – Fairmont, NC
    • Hoke County High School – Raeford, NC
    • Jack Britt High School – Fayetteville, NC

  • Plan to enroll in full-time undergraduate study at an accredited two-year or four-year college, university, or vocational-technical school for the entire upcoming academic year.

Awards

If selected as a recipient, the student will receive a $1,000 award. Up to ten (10) awards will be awarded with one recipient per high school, providing there are qualified applicants.

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 Lumbee Guaranty Bank.

Awards are for undergraduate study only.

Notification

All applicants will be notified in late May.

Payment of Scholarships

Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of Lumbee Guaranty Bank. Payment is made in August.

Selection of Recipients

Scholarship recipients are selected on the basis of:

  • Academic performance
  • Demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities
  • Work experience
  • A statement of educational and career goals and objectives
  • Unusual personal or family circumstances

Financial need, as calculated by Scholarship America, must be demonstrated for the student to receive an award.

Preference will be given to students with a cumulative GPA of 2.5 – 3.5 on a 4.0 scale.

Selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. In no instance does any officer or employee of Lumbee Guaranty Bank play a part in the selection. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
