The 15th Annual Pinnacle Bank Leadership Award Event is scheduled for 11:30 Friday morning at the Kimmel Theatre on the Midland University campus.
High schools from around the Fremont area participate in the Pinnacle Bank Leadership Awards each year. Students must be nominated and then apply to be considered for an award. A panel of leaders from Midland University, Pinnacle Bank, and the Fremont community review applications and select recipients based on involvement, leadership roles, and attributes.
Recipients who are accepted, and decide to attend Midland, will receive a $25,000 scholarship per year for a total scholarship value of $100,000.
Merritt Nelson, Midland Vice President for Enrollment Management and Marketing, said Midland is proud to honor the students.
“These students have displayed outstanding leadership qualities, both in the classroom and the community,” he said. “We are excited to see them develop as individuals and leaders in our communities.”
Scott Meister, the market president for Pinnacle, said the bank is pleased to partner with MU in recognizing the students’ achievements.
“They are being recognized for having established a tremendous foundation as they develop into tomorrow’s leaders, motivators, and visionaries,” he said. “Our community, state, and nation will benefit from this group’s future endeavors.”
