Fulton Bank Champions Future STEM Leaders Through Scholarship Initiative
Fulton Bank, N.A., a prominent subsidiary of Fulton Financial Corporation, reinforces its commitment to community development and education by awarding scholarships to aspiring STEM students. Recently, the bank announced that Jessica Canedo and Camie Nguyen, both recent high school graduates, have each received a $2,000 scholarship funded by Fulton's Women in Technology Employee Resource Group. This initiative specifically targets students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM), aiming to foster the next generation of innovators and professionals in these critical fields.
Jessica Canedo, hailing from Riverside, New Jersey, plans to attend Saint Joseph's University to study biochemistry, while Camie Nguyen from Havre de Grace, Maryland, will enroll at the University of Maryland to focus on chemistry and pre-pharmacy. Both recipients exemplify the potential that Fulton Bank seeks to nurture through its scholarship program. Kelly Salvato, an Information Technology Project Manager and Chairperson of the Women in Technology group, expresses pride in the initiative, emphasizing the importance of supporting young women as they embark on their academic journeys in STEM disciplines. This scholarship program not only aids students financially but also enhances their educational experiences and career readiness.
The selection process for these scholarships is designed to ensure that applicants align with Fulton's values and operational footprint. Candidates must be high school seniors accepted into a two- to four-year STEM-related undergraduate program and reside within the bank's service areas. The Women in Technology Employee Resource Group is inclusive, welcoming all employees who are passionate about technology and education, thus creating a supportive network for young women entering these fields. As Fulton Bank continues to expand its community-focused initiatives, it positions itself as a leader in promoting education and diversity within the technology sector.
In addition to the scholarship initiative, Fulton Bank is recognized as a leading community bank in the Mid-Atlantic region, providing a wide range of financial services to its clients.
