Franklin Savings Bank awards $5,000 grant
Franklin, NH According to Jeffery Savage, president & CEO of Franklin Savings Bank, the bank presented $5,000 to the Network for Educational Opportunity to support their K-12 Education Scholarship Program, which awards grants to New Hampshire students who are struggling in their current learning environment. A NEO scholarship assists parents by providing the financial assistance needed to enroll their child in an educational setting that will keep them moving forward.
“This is the type of program we like to support based upon the knowledge that scholarships provide an immediate impact on a child’s education,” said Savage. “Providing the support needed to empower a parent to make the best choice for their child’s education will change their child’s life and future for the better.”
