“As a community bank, our greatest returns come from investing right here at home. These scholarships reflect our belief that the best way to strengthen our towns is by backing the students who call them home.”
- L.V. Coffee, TexasBank President, Central Texas
TexasBank is proud to announce a record-breaking $140,000 in scholarships awarded to 80 graduating high school seniors and college students across Texas, furthering its mission to help local students pursue their dreams through higher education.
In Erath and Eastland counties, $39,000 was awarded to high school graduates and local college students.
This year’s milestone continues a long-standing collaboration with the James and Dorothy Doss Foundation and pushes TexasBank’s total scholarship contributions to more than $2.1 million over the past 14 years.
“As a community bank, our greatest returns come from investing right here at home. These scholarships reflect our belief that the best way to strengthen our towns is by backing the students who call them home. We’re not just funding education, we’re fueling the future of our local communities,” stated L.V. Coffee, Central Texas President of TexasBank.
Neither TexasBank nor the Doss Foundation selects individual recipients. Instead, funds are granted directly to educational institutions, which then award scholarships based on academic achievement, community involvement, and future goals.
This year’s recipients include students from high schools across TexasBank’s service area, as well as those attending Tarleton State University ($25,000).
Locally, scholarship recipients hailed from school districts in Erath and Eastland counties, including Bluffdale, Dublin, Eastland, Huckaby, Lingleville, Stephenville, and Three Way.
2025 Local Area Recipients include:
Dublin: Caiden Babkowski, Jacob Southall
Eastland: Za’Nyea Dunn, Savanna Koroch, Jason Zamora
Huckaby: Christi Parrish
Lingleville: Rosemary Gallegos
Stephenville: Leah Mendoza, Sanjivani Pokhrel, Tyler Traweek, Tania Sanchez, Vianey Almazan
