Scholarship for local student totals $500 from Zions Bank

Dedication to academics has paid off for Shayli Bake, a senior at San Juan High School. Bake has been awarded a $500 scholarship savings account as a regional winner of Zions Bank’s Pays for A’s drawing.
Kim Palmer, manager of the Zions Bank Blanding branch, announced Bake’s achievement during a branch presentation.
Pays for A’s rewards local students for scholastic success. Bake was entered into the drawing by bringing her report card to Zions Bank.
She was paid $1 for each “A” and received an entry into the spring scholarship drawing.
Out of more than 1,600 entries, 18 students throughout Idaho and Utah were randomly selected as winners in their respective regions.  
“We are thrilled to honor Shayli’s dedication to academics through the Pays for A’s program,” said Palmer. “Our aim is to encourage students to excel in their studies and achieve great grades.”
For more than two decades, Pays for A’s has rewarded thousands of students across Idaho and Utah for working hard in school.
Middle school, junior high and high school students ages 12 to 18 can participate by bringing their most current term-end report card into any Zions Bank location.
Students do not need a Zions Bank account to participate. They’ll receive $1 per “A” deposited into their savings account, or 50 cents per “A” if they opt for cash.
For each “A” on their report cards, students are entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of 18 regional scholarship prizes each worth $500 and one grand prize worth $1,000 in each state.
