Middleburg Bank Announces Joe Boling Scholarship
Middleburg Bank Announces Joe Boling Scholarship
A Partnership with The Loudoun Laurels
When Middleburg Bank’s Chairman Joe Boling was recognized for his stewardship and community service by The Loudoun Laurels, Bank President and CEO Gary Shook announced that, in Boling’s honor, the bank would establish a four-year scholarship in his name for a Loudoun County high school senior.
“Joe’s commitment to the Loudoun County community is well known, widely admired and, some would say, without parallel,” Shook explained. “It is Middleburg Bank’s honor to make this investment in a Loudoun County high school senior who plans to carry on Joe’s legacy of stewardship and community service.”
The Middleburg Bank Joe Boling Scholarship will provide $10,000 per year to a graduating senior for a four-year period beginning with the 2015 fall term.
“The Loudoun Laurels program focuses on leadership by example and commitment to community,” Shook continued, “Joe has provided an exceptional example for future community leaders and it is our hope that the recipient of this scholarship in his name will be inspired to continue to set such an example.”
Middleburg Bank is a founding member of The Loudoun Laurels, an initiative that recognizes and honors outstanding individuals whose contributions to Loudoun County deserve emulation and a place in the county’s history.
The Loudoun Laurels Stewardship Trust is the initiative’s scholarship program which provides four-year, $10,000 per year scholarships to two Loudoun County high school seniors each year.
“By recording and archiving the life stories of our honorees, we hope to preserve a record that explains the powerful sense of community that so enriches the life of Loudoun County citizens,” noted Loudoun Laurels Board Chairman Joe May.
“It is our great pleasure to welcome Middleburg Bank’s commitment to our Loudoun Laurels Scholarship program in honor of Chairman Joe Boling. The young scholar who receives this support will undoubtedly be inspired to continue Joe’s commitment to community that is so critically important to the health and welfare of our society.”
Applications for the Middleburg Bank Joe Boling scholarship will be available April 2nd on the Bank’s website, www.middleburgbank.com; on the Loudoun Laurels website, www.loudounlaurels.com; and at Middleburg Bank’s headquarters in Middleburg, Virginia. The deadline for applications is April 30th.
