Service Excellence Scholarship

At First Bank & Trust Co. we are not only committed to excellence in our industry but also deeply rooted in excellence within our communities. That's why we’ve established the Service Excellence Scholarship offering five local students the opportunity to earn a $1,000 scholarship. We are thrilled to share with you this exciting opportunity that embodies both our commitment to education and our dedication to excellence.

On December 8, 1988, our founding members purchased First Bank & Trust Co. Each of these members brought unique talents, visions, and values to the table, but they shared a common bond—a deep-seated commitment to excellence, integrity, and service. Their collaborative spirit, resilience, and passion ignited the flame that continues to illuminate our path forward.

Their vision, determination, and unwavering commitment to excellence laid the foundation upon which First Bank & Trust Co. stands today and extends far beyond the confines of our company walls. Through their philanthropy, mentorship, and community engagement, they have enriched the lives of countless individuals and organizations. They understood that true success is not measured by financial gains but by the positive impact we make in the community around us.

In recognition of their invaluable contributions, we have created this scholarship to support aspiring students who embody the same spirit of innovation, leadership, and community service. The Service Excellence Scholarship aims to provide financial assistance to outstanding individuals who demonstrate exceptional academic achievement, leadership potential, and a strong commitment to making a positive impact in their community. This scholarship reflects our belief in the power of education to transform lives and drive positive change.
