2024 scholarship applications

The process is easy — no essay required.

All you have to do is submit the application, a copy of your high school transcript, and a 30- to 60-second video through the form on our website. But first, here is this year’s video prompt:

What type of business would you open in your community, and why?

This could be something you’re passionate about (such as a photography studio), something that fills a need (such as a gluten-free, vegan-friendly bakery), or something your community would benefit from (such as a music store that offers professional lessons for all instruments).

We can’t wait to see what you come up with! Now, here’s what to do as soon as your video is ready:

  1. Download and complete the application (two pages).
  2. Request your official high school transcript from your school.
  3. Create and post your 30- to 60-second video on YouTube, Vimeo, TikTok, or Instagram Reels. Choose Public or Unlisted when uploading your video, and include the link with your other application materials. If submitting a TikTok or Instagram Reel, make sure your account is set to Public.
  4. Upload these items using the form in the link below. All requirements listed above must be met or it will result in disqualification of the applicant.

You do not need to be a customer of The First National Bank in Sioux Falls to apply. Each applicant must be a graduating area high school senior who plans to attend an accredited institution of higher learning (public or private) as a full-time student, and the scholarship is not renewable.

Applications are due by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, March 31, 2024, so let’s get started:
