Minbanc Foundation, Inc. :: Scholarships

"...The school was administered by a professionally organized staff; the courses were well structured and insightful. The knowledge that I gained from those courses continue to be useful in my daily functions as a Commercial Loan Officer. Although I had been lending for almost two years prior to attending classes, I was well aware that there was more for me to learn and I did. Management has now elected to send me to Pacific Coast Banking School, a graduate school program conducted in Seattle, WA for the next three years. I feel honored and blessed to have this opportunity to not only grow as a person but to help the bank achieve its goals."

"I appreciate the helpful information and assistance that I can use daily in banking. Keeping up with this constantly changing environment has been made easier thanks to these seminars and conferences."
-Danna Brooks
Bank of Cherokee County, Hulbert, OK

"I have always enjoyed the seminars and came away learning something new. The speakers are very well informed and have a great way of passing on their knowledge to the people who attend, always helpful when they answer questions no matter how strange we may think they are. Also, the material that we are given to take with us is always useful after the fact. There is not a week that goes by that I don't grab one of the training books and check something out. I always know just where to look."
-JoAnna Falk, CSR

"I have attended several of the OBA seminars. Not only do we learn how new regulations will pertain to and affect our bank's compliance program, but we also meet personnel from other area banks and the seminar instructors who can be of assistance in the interpretation and application of future regulations."
