UMB Financial Corporation (“UMBF”) Charitable Foundation (the “Foundation”) has established the UMB Count-on-More Scholarship Program to assist children of UMBF’s associates who plan to continue their education in college, vocational or technical school programs. Scholarships are offered for full-time study at an accredited institution of the student’s choice for the upcoming school year.

This program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarship, tuition assistance 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. Awards are granted without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender, age, disability, or national origin.

Applicants must meet all of the following criteria:

Be dependent, unmarried children, or grandchildren, age 24 and under, of associates of UMBF (including all of its affiliates and subsidiaries), who are at least part-time employees, working 20+ hours per week and health benefit eligible. The UMBF associate must have a minimum of one (1) year of employment with UMBF and be in good standing as of the application deadline date.
Be high school seniors or graduates or current college undergraduates.
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.
Annual Family Gross Income may not exceed $300,000.

Dependent children of any Officer or Director of the Foundation or any Executive Committee member of UMBF (including all of its affiliates and subsidiaries) are not eligible to apply.

Up to ten awards of $8,000 each will be granted, provided there are qualified applicants.

The program will be administered in full compliance with IRS Revenue Procedure 76-47.

Awards are renewable up to three consecutive years or until a bachelor’s degree is earned, whichever occurs first, on the basis of satisfactory academic performance (maintaining a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale).

Awards are for undergraduate study only.
