For the second year in a row, Franklin Savings Bank was happy to assist with the cost of books for Franklin High School’s Early College Program. The program helps high school students earn college credits through Lakes Region Community College and provide them with a head start on college courses and a competitive edge in the workforce.
Through its program, Franklin High School is able to cover the cost of the college courses, however college books are an added expense. This is where Franklin Savings Bank jumped in to help. The bank supported the program with $750 to cover the cost of books, allowing students to spend more time learning, and less time worrying about this extra expense.
“Education opens doors, and we’re proud to help open those doors for students in Franklin,” states Brian Bozak, President & CEO at Franklin Savings Bank. “By contributing to the cost of college textbooks again this year, we’re reinforcing our commitment to growing stronger together and supporting the next generation of leaders.”
“We are incredibly grateful to Franklin Savings Bank for their generous investment in our students’ success,” comments Principal David Levesque, Franklin High School. “By providing the essential Chemistry textbooks for our students who are taking this course at LRCC, they are removing financial barriers and ensuring our students have the tools they need to excel. This partnership is a testament to their commitment to our community and the future of our students”
