We are much more than a financial institution; we're a community of friends and neighbors who gather together to make a difference. That's what community banking is all about.
That's why, for over 30 years, we’ve invested in the education of our state’s most valuable resource … its youth. Today’s students are tomorrow’s leaders, and we are a strong supporter of academic activities and post-secondary studies.
Scholarship Details
Each BankWest Scholarship has a $2,000 value and may be used to fund tuition at any accredited, post-secondary educational institution. The application process considers involvement in community activities, personal character, and academic integrity.
What Makes BankWest Great
The BankWest Scholarship Program touches lives in tremendous ways. When my father passed away at a young age, our family’s finances were tight. I received a BankWest Scholarship and it helped make my education possible.
Disclosure 2025 scholarship program details will be released in December.
