Scholarship Opportunity
Frandsen Bank & Trust is pleased to announce the fourth year of our scholarship program, the Orlo A. Balcer Memorial Scholarship. High school seniors across our footprint can earn one of the 25 - $1,000 scholarships.
We feel strongly that these scholarships not only continue the legacy of Orlo Balcer (a Fransen Bank & Trust teammate whom we lost and who possessed an inquisitive, learning mindset), but also foster continued learning and growing opportunities for those students who will continue their education and work to contribute to their local communities (core mission and value of Frandsen Bank & Trust).
