BENTON, KY – Community Financial Services Bank (CFSB) proudly announces the 20 outstanding recipients of the 2025 CFSB Student Scholarship Program. These remarkable students, selected from across the four-county service region, embody the spirit of leadership, commitment, and community engagement that defines the CFSB mission.
Each recipient received a $1,000 scholarship to support their educational goals as they take the next step toward building a brighter future for themselves and their communities. The selection committee evaluated the 300 applicants based on academic achievement, community involvement, and alignment with CFSB’s five vision points: Community, Commitment, Culture, Leadership, and Value.
After choosing the recipients, each student was celebrated across the 11 schools with a personal party including friends, family, administrators and CFSB Team Members while receiving their scholarship check. The fourth year of the CFSB Scholarship Program and the largest selection to date, brings the total amount awarded to Western Kentucky students by CFSB to $64,000.
