David W. Glidden, President & CEO of Liberty Bank, today announced the names of the three high school students in the graduating class of 2024 who won a $5,000 scholarship through Liberty's 2nd Annual Kindness Scholarships.
The Kindness Scholarship recognizes eligible students who attend a high school in a city or town served by Liberty Bank. To be considered for this coveted scholarship, the graduating high school student must consistently demonstrate kindness in everyday moments while maintaining an ongoing and significant impact on their community.
The three rising college freshman who earned a $5,000 scholarship this year are the following:
"Avni, Uttej and Kaylee are not only successful leaders in the classroom but what they do outside of school in spreading kindness in their spare time helps our communities thrive," said David W. Glidden, President & CEO of Liberty Bank. "They don't do it to bolster their college applications or receive recognition. They do it because they have a passion for helping others in the community. For those reasons, these three rising college freshmen are truly deserving of a $5,000 scholarship from Liberty Bank and we know every little bit helps in defraying the costs of college tuition."
