At Citizens Community Bank we know that our success is dependent on the success of Franklin County. In order to contribute to the success of our community we made a pledge in 2005 to award one million dollars ($1,000,000.00) in scholarships to our youth who we hope will become our future civic and business leaders who will have a positive impact in Franklin County. This pledge has assisted 11 of our most outstanding students further their education at the college, university, or technical school of their choice. In 2008 we will continue our commitment by offering a six thousand dollar ($6,000.00) scholarship to one student from Franklin County High School and one student from Huntland High School who will be attending a college or university. We will also offer a seven hundred and fifty dollar ($750.00) scholarship in memory of our dear friend and former director of Citizens Community Bank, Keith Mason, to one student from Franklin County High School and one student from Huntland High School who will be attending a technical school. In order to be eligible for these scholarships, which are the largest locally offered scholarships, the student must be a customer of Citizens Community bank or have a parent or grandparent that is a customer.

Applications may be picked up at our main office located at 1418 Dinah Shore Blvd., Winchester, TN, our drive through facility located at 2176 Dinah Shore Blvd., or our Huntland Branch located at 534 Main Street or by visiting our website at www.ccbank.net.  All applications must be returned to the bank by April 4, 2008 and further information can be obtained by contacting Nancy Damron at (931) 967-3342.

Citizens Community Bank offers our best wishes to the class of 2008!
