    Good marks in school means money in the bank for

Grand County High student Robert Maestas. He won the regional drawing

for a $150 scholarship savings account from Zions Bank’s Pays for A’s

Program. He received the news about the scholarship from Principal Tom

Brown and loan officer Ken Bishoff from Zions Bank’s Moab office during

an assembly on March 16.

    Open to all Utah students in middle school, junior

high or high school, Zions Pays for A’s now offers cash incentives for

good grades. Teen students simply take their term-end report cards from

the current academic year into any Zions Bank location. They’ll receive

$1 per “A” deposited into their savings accounts, or .50 cents per “A”

if they opt for cash. Plus, students can enter a drawing for

scholarship money when they receive one contest entry form for each of

their “As.”

    Earlier this year, Maestas brought his report card

with at least one “A” grade into Zions Bank’s Moab branch. His name was

selected randomly in a drawing among entrants throughout the Grand-San

Juan region.

    The deadline for students to enter the next regional

drawing for $150 scholarships will be Friday, April 7. Students then

have until July 3, 2006 to submit all of their report cards from the

2005-2006 school year and enter the statewide drawing for the grand

prize $1,000. Students need not be customers of Zions to participate.

More information and full contest details are available online at

www.zionsbank.com.

    “We at Zions Bank are thrilled to now offer cash

rewards to teens with ‘A’s’. It’s a great way for us to recognize

students like Robert who excel in their studies,” said Connie Sheffer,

branch customer service manager of Zions Bank’s Moab office. “Zions is

proud to partner with teachers and parents in supporting teens who do

their very best in school.”
