A Community Bank focused on making a Happier community

The Forcht Bank Community Impact Scholarship was created to reward young adults who have worked to improve their communities. Balancing school responsibilities with community service, athletics and even jobs can be challenging for students. And Forcht Bank would like to recognize, and reward, those individuals in assisting with future expenses tied to education so that they can achieve their dreams. Ultimately, we hope that our communities young adults return and continue to invest in their communities one day at a time.
