Schools and organizations serving K-12 students in Hargray communities have the opportunity to win $3,000 to fund their science, technology, engineering or math project or club as part of the internet service provider’s annual “Dream Bigger” social media campaign.

K-12 schools and organizations in communities throughout the states Hargray serves can enter to win simply by sharing a photo and written entry outlining how the money will be used to fund their technology project – whether for equipment, competition fees, field trips or otherwise – and how it benefits students. Two entities will be selected to each receive a $3,000 award.

“Through our continued commitment to connecting the communities we serve, we are proud to provide resources enabling enhanced learning opportunities for the bright minds of the future,” said Trish Niemann, Vice President, Communications Strategy. “We are excited to see how the leaders of tomorrow will utilize technology both inside and outside the classroom to dream bigger through diverse and innovative ways.”

Entries will be accepted from March 1 through March 21 at www.hargray.com/campaign/contest. Five finalists will be selected by Hargray and the winner will be determined by public voting from March 24 through March 31. The finalists – as well as the schools and organizations selected to receive the award – will be highlighted on Hargray’s social media channels, including Facebook and Instagram.

South Georgia Banking Company is accepting applications for the 2022 Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship.

This scholarship program, sponsored by the Community Bankers Association (CBA), awards $1,000 annually to four deserving high school seniors who plan to attend a Georgia college, university, or technical school beginning the fall semester after graduation.

SGBC will select one applicant as the local winner, who will be awarded a $500 cash scholarship before moving on to the CBA selection process. The bank will also name a local runner-up, who will also be considered for one of the four $1,000 prizes.

The goal of The Julian & Jan Hester Memorial Scholarship is to assist deserving high school seniors in their first year of college and to promote community banking. The scholarship is named after long-time CBA Chief Executive Officer, the late Julian Hester and his late daughter, Jan Hester. Jan was a senior at the University of Georgia when she died in an auto accident in April of 1990. In addition to supporting community banking, this scholarship is an opportunity to pass on the positive qualities both Julian and Jan Hester exemplified to further the development of tomorrow’s generations.

You can find additional details about the scholarship and the requirements for applicants and download the application at: https://www.cbaofga.com/julian--jan-hester-scholarship.html

Please help spread the word about this scholarship and encourage qualifying high school seniors in your community and schools to fill out an application and return it to their nearest South Georgia Banking Company branch or mail it to SGBC, P.O. Box 1505, Tifton GA 31793 to be received before Friday April 8, 2022.
