Tri Counties Bank
Scholarship Program

At Tri Counties Bank, our mission is to improve the financial success and well-being of the people we serve throughout California. One way we fulfill this mission is through our investment in community-minded students.

In partnership with the Community Foundation of the North State, Tri Counties Bank annually awards scholarships to students planning to attend a community college, trade school, or four-year college or university.

Scholarships are awarded to high school seniors who demonstrate interest in public service, community engagement, or business entrepreneurship.

Scholarships are offered to seniors attending a high school in the following counties: Butte, Colusa, Contra Costa, Del Norte, Fresno, Glenn, Humboldt, Kern, Lake, Madera, Mendocino, Merced, Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, San Francisco, San Mateo, Shasta, Siskiyou, Sonoma, Stanislaus, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Tulare, Yolo, and Yuba.


Students will be considered for only one of the following scholarship types: Income or Merit.

  • Income-based scholarships are scored based on the quality of the application, notable achievements, a Student Aid Index (SAI) of $6,655 or less, and a cumulative GPA of at least 2.5.
     
  • Merit-based scholarships are scored based on the quality of the application, notable achievements, and a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5.
