Citizens Bank presents $47,000 in High School Achievement Awards to 47students throughout New Hampshire

MANCHESTER, N.H. – Citizens Bank has presented $47,000 in High School Achievement Awards to 47 graduating seniors from high schools across New Hampshire.

The Citizens Bank High School Achievement Award is given to qualified high school seniors who plan to continue their education at a college, university or vocational/technical school. The awards are given to one student per high school in New Hampshire communities where Citizens Bank has a branch presence. The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation administers the scholarship program and selects award recipients based on defined criteria which include financial need, academic merit and other non-academic factors such as community service, school activities and work experience.
“These students deserve to be honored for their achievements,” said Joseph Carelli, president of Citizens Bank, New Hampshire. “We are pleased to provide financial assistance to New Hampshire students aspiring to further their education. Particularly with rising costs of education, we hope this award of $1,000 each will help offset some of their college expenses.”
