2015 Banner Bank Spokane Indians College Scholarship Program Banner Bank, in conjunction with the Spokane Indians Baseball Club, will award five $500 college scholarships, according to the following guidelines: Any student in the graduating class of a local high school, who is a citizen of the United States of America, and resident within the specific area of Spokane County, may file an application. Scholarship, leadership, community involvement, and character are criteria by which applicants will be judged. Only students of outstanding merit, who show an appreciation of the value of an education and community involvement, have a chance to win this award. Applications will only be accepted if they are presented with standard binder or cover in an orderly, concise and chronological manner. Remove all letters from envelopes and bind the letters flat. Exhibits demonstrating notable achievements in scholarship, leadership, athletics, dramatics, community service or other activities may be attached, but the applicant should avoid submitting repetitious accounts of the same aptitude. Elaborate presentation is unnecessary. Bound application, including exhibits, should be confined to fewer than 20 pages in length (one side only). A staple or paper clip is an acceptable form of binding. In addition to the Memorandum of Required Facts, which should be first in the cover, we suggest as essential details the following, preferably in the order indicated: 1. A statement of not more than 300 words summarizing why the applicant thinks he/she is most deserving for this college scholarship award.
