UMB Bank provides $10,000 scholarship for Sandoval County Junior County Treasurer program
Summary
Treasurer Taylor announced UMB Bank offered $10,000 to support the Junior County Treasurer program; the county plans to award two $5,000 scholarships to students upon program completion and legal review confirmed funds will be disbursed to students, not retained by the county.
Sandoval County Treasurer Taylor announced the county has secured a $10,000 scholarship from UMB Bank to support the Junior County Treasurer (JCT) program beginning this August. Taylor said the bank's community giving priorities (arts, agriculture, financial education and self-sufficiency) align with the JCT program and that UMB leadership, including Melanie Velasquez, supported the gift.
The treasurer said legal counsel reviewed the donation to ensure compliance with anti-donation rules and confirmed the county will not retain the funds; scholarships will be paid to students after program completion. Taylor said the county plans to award two $5,000 scholarships to participants and that additional stipend or credit options had been considered in past years but were limited by program-hour requirements.
Taylor thanked UMB Bank for the donation and said she will share further implementation details as the program starts in August.
