School, Hartsburg-Emden High School and Olympia High School to

|
The scholarship competition is part of
a program sponsored by Illinois community banks and the CBAI

State Bank of Lincoln is a
member of the Community Bankers
Association of Illinois, which formed the foundation in 1996.

year for up to four years of higher education will be awarded to the
author of the best essay submitted to the CBAI Foundation from
participating Illinois high school seniors. Up to 12 additional
$1,000 awards are available in each of the regions of the state. An
additional $500 will be awarded to the high school of the overall
winner.

William M. Hull, executive vice
president stated, "Any high school senior student in the area served
by the bank is encouraged to participate. Four past regional winners
have been submitted to the CBAI by the bank. Winners were from
Lincoln Community High School and Mount Pulaski High School."
Entries must be submitted to the bank
by 5 p.m. on Feb. 10. The bank will then submit selected entries to

Scholarship fund established for
2003 State Farm Holiday Classic
[JAN.
2, 2003]
BLOOMINGTON -- To
commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Bloomington-Normal
basketball tournament (now known as the State Farm Holiday Classic)
in 2003, the Classic Organizing Group is establishing a scholarship
fund. The announcement was made Wednesday evening at Illinois
Wesleyan University's Shirk Center on championship day of the 2002
State Farm Holiday Classic.
|
The scholarship fund, known as the
Classic Organizing Group Scholarship Fund, will award four
scholarships to eligible students from the 64 participating teams at
the 2003 State Farm Holiday Classic. The scholarships will be
awarded to two boys -- one from a McLean County school and one from
a school outside McLean County -- and to two girls -- also one from
a McLean County school and one from a school outside McLean County.
The first recipients will be introduced during the final night of
the tournament next December. All senior students from the
participating schools will be eligible for the scholarship.
The Classic Organizing Group is
currently developing guidelines and will announce them to the
participating schools early in the fall.
"We feel this is a great way to give
back to the students and schools that have helped us grow our
tournament in the past 24 years," said Dan Highland, president of
the organizers. "When this tournament started, I don't think the
organizers knew it would ever grow into the largest coed holiday
basketball tournament in the nation. We just want to keep building
onto the illustrious tradition with this tournament."
[to top of second column in this
article]
|
Highland said next year's awarding of
the four scholarships will begin a new tradition with the
tournament. "We'll start with four next year, with a goal to
increase scholarships in the future," he said. "We're not just
providing the 'Best Basketball this side of March,' but we want to
advance the educational opportunities to students who don't have the
full financial resources to attend a community college or four-year
school."
The Classic Organizing Group
Scholarship Fund has been established through the Community
Foundation of McLean County, a not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization.
Donations made to the fund are tax-deductible.
The Classic Organizing Group has other
special activities in store to commemorate the 25th anniversary of
the tournament. More details will be released in the fall.

information about the Classic Organizing Group or the State Farm
Holiday Classic, visit the official tournament website,
