The Von Bank Family (the Sponsor) has established the Harold and Arlene Von Bank Scholarship to assist high school seniors at New Prague High School who plan to continue their education in college.
The 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 for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to race, color, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, gender, disability, or national origin.
Applicants to the Harold and Arlene Von Bank Scholarship must:
The Sponsor’s immediate family members are ineligible to apply.
One $5,000 award will be granted. The award is one-time only and must be used for undergraduate study at a two- or four-year college or university.
The recipient may be offered a mentorship opportunity from the Sponsor.
All applicants will be notified in May.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of the Sponsor. Payment is made in August payable to the school for the recipient’s account.
Scholarship America will select scholarship finalists based upon academic performance, demonstrated leadership and participation in school and community activities, volunteering, work experience, a statement of educational and career goals and objectives, a diversity and inclusion essay, and any unusual personal or family circumstances.
Financial need is not considered.
From the group of finalists, the Sponsor will select the scholarship recipient.
All applicants agree to accept the decision as final.
