Henderson, TX – VeraBank is pleased to continue its long-standing tradition of investing in local college-bound high school seniors through its annual Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) scholarship program.

Since the inception of the program in 2005, the bank has awarded more than $252,000 in scholarships to 401 local high school students who have met the established criteria. This year, VeraBank proudly awarded 35 scholarships totaling $35,000. To qualify, students must reside in a low-to-moderate income household, maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher, and plan to continue higher education at a college in the fall. Recipients are selected with input from high school counselors who identify students that meet the academic and financial guidelines and show strong character and future potential.
