Cooper Foundation Scholarship

Supporting and encouraging higher education is a priority to the Cooper Foundation. This has been demonstrated through years of scholarships awarded to graduating seniors in the communities Midwest Bank serves. In Norfolk, three one time scholarships of $500 are awarded to deserving students. In each of the other communities, $1,500 is awarded for a one year scholarship to a deserving student.

(Midwest Bank Employee Family Members are ineligible for this scholarship.)
