Jackson State University and Cadence Bank, formerly BancorpSouth, are working to build community by establishing an academic scholarship for College of Business students with a commitment of $60,000 to be disbursed over three years.
The financial organization also offers a pipeline of summer internships and job placement for interested students without specification of major.
According to Michael Booker, president of Hinds County for Cadence Bank, the partnership speaks to Jackson State’s ability to deliver solid students for the growing economy.
The funds will enable students to complete their academic journey while attracting them to the bank’s employment opportunities - through training programs for graduates and internships.
Cadence Bank is a regional banking franchise with approximately $50B billion in assets and more than 400 branch locations across the South, Midwest and Texas. (JSU 08/03/23) Jackson State University partners with Cadence Bank to create $60K scholarship fund – JSU Newsroom (jsumsnews.com)
