W. WARWICK, R.I. — Centreville Bank announced two new scholarships added to its existing scholarship program.
Applications and nominations for all scholarships are due April 12, 2024 and can be submitted electronically on Centreville Bank’s website.  
Recipients must be: Graduating high school seniors; Graduating from a high school located in Rhode Island, or towns located in Windham County or New London county; Accepted to a college, university, or trade school for the Fall 2024 semester.

The Future Business Leaders scholarship is for high school recipients that demonstrate an entrepreneurial spirit and aspire to be an impactful business leader. Many students are interested in owning their own business and this scholarship fosters this dream while also recognizing the positive impact businesses can have in their local communities. Applicants must submit a business plan to bring their idea to life. Each year, three (3) recipients will each be awarded a $5,000 Future Business Leaders scholarship.
The Emerging Community Leader scholarship will recognize students that uplift and support the community through acts of leadership, advocacy, and volunteerism. Students may be nominated by peers, teachers, guidance counselors, mentors or any other individual that is a non-familial relationship. Each year, three (3) recipients will each be awarded a $5,000 Emerging Community Leader scholarship.
These new scholarships are in addition to the Robert O. Pare scholarship that Centreville Bank has been offering since 2018. This scholarship recognizes students who are dedicated to making a difference through community service. The scholarship’s namesake honors Robert O. Pare who served Centreville Bank for 55 years and was instrumental in its success. Previously the Robert O. Pare scholarship was awarded to two (2) students, but starting in 2024, three (3) recipients will each be awarded a $5,000 Robert O. Pare scholarship.
