# NCB Announces Minority Excellence Scholarship

August 31, 2020

Hillsboro, OH – (August 31, 2020) – National Cooperative Bank (NCB), a leading financial institution which provides banking products and services to Southern Ohio and the nation's cooperatives, their members and other socially responsible organizations, is pleased to announce that it has created a Minority Excellence Scholarship for Southern State Community College.

The purpose of the NCB Minority Excellence Scholarship is to financially support deserving students of color attending Southern State Community College, who are majoring in Accounting, Business, Computer Technology, or taking general education courses with the long-term goal of obtaining a bachelor degree in a similar field.

“This fund has been established to demonstrate NCB’s commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion in southern Ohio and support the pursuit of education for all people,” states John Holdsclaw, NCB Executive Vice President, Strategic Initiatives. “This is the first scholarship for students of color at Southern State Community College.”

NCB will be contributing $25,000 to establish the scholarship for qualified applicants. Awards are granted based on minority status and financial need. Defined students of color are students who self-identify as Black, Mexican American, Latinx, Asian, Native American, and/or a mix of the aforementioned racial identities.

“Southern State is delighted to partner with National Cooperative Bank and we applaud their high regard for equity in our region,” states Nicole Roades, Ph.D., Vice President of Academic Affairs. “We are honored to be considered a partner in this important contribution to identifying and resolving gaps for underrepresented populations in academia.”

For more information, please contact Southern State Community College’s Office of Financial Aid.
