Hudson Valley, NY, March 12, 2018 – In support of graduating high school students targeting a career in technology or advanced manufacturing, Tompkins Mahopac Bank (TMB) has announced its new scholarship program, Make and Accelerate.

The program will recognize one graduating high school student in each of Dutchess, Putnam and Westchester counties, with a $500 scholarship toward costs associated with their Fall 2018 enrollment in an advanced manufacturing degree or technical program at a two- or four-year college or technical school. Selected students must have a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.0. A total of $1,500 in donated funds will be awarded.
