Paige Cole, an Ada High School senior, is one of three $1,000 scholarship recipients through a Liberty National Bank Financial Literacy Program.
Thirty-six students in Hardin, Logan and Union counties submitted applications for the bank’s My Money Matters scholarship.
It is a free, online financial literacy program sponsored by the bank, at no cost to participating schools. Liberty is partnered with EverFi, Inc., an education technology company to bring this interactive, web-based financial management program schools.
“Liberty National Bank is very proud of the number of students we have reached with critical financial education, as it is just one of the many indicators of our commitment to Hardin County,” Ron Zimmerly, president and CEO of Liberty National Bank said.
“We are proud of the students’ efforts to understand important aspects of personal finance like what a credit score means and how to save for college.”
Paige Cole, daughter of Carla Cole, will attend Georgia Southern University this fall studying nursing.
