Lindsey Erekson from Grand County Middle School is the most recent recipient of Zions Bank’s Moab-area drawing for a $100 scholarship savings account from the bank’s “Pays for A’s” program. Erekson was announced as the winner on Mar. 5.

Open to all Utah and Idaho students ages 13 through 18, Zions Pays for A’s offers cash incentives for good grades. Teen students must bring their most recent term-end report cards from the current academic year into any Zions Bank location. They’ll receive $1 per “A” deposited into their Teengreen savings accounts, or 50 cents per “A,” if they opt for cash. For each “A” on their report cards, students receive automatic entries into one of 152 annual drawings for scholarship prizes worth up to $1,000.

Earlier this year, Erekson brought her report card with at least one “A” grade into Zions Bank’s Moab office. Her name was selected randomly in a drawing among entrants from that branch.

Students have until July 9 to submit their most recent term report cards for the $1,000 statewide scholarship savings account drawing. Students need not be customers of Zions to participate. More information and full contest details are available online at www.zionsbank.com/pays4as.

“We at Zions Bank are thrilled to offer cash rewards to teens with A’s. It’s a great way for us to recognize students like Lindsey who excel in their studies,” said Moab Assistant Branch Manager Chantell Murphy. “As a community bank, Zions is proud to partner with teachers and parents in supporting teens who do their very best in school.”
