The Bank of Brookhaven Scholarship was recently endowed with the Copiah-Lincoln Community College Foundation. This scholarship was established to benefit a graduate of Brookhaven School District, Lincoln County School District or Brookhaven Academy.
Bank of Brookhaven opened in 2000, beginning with more than $7.5 million in assets. Since then, it has grown to more than $232,000,000 in assets. The bank has been involved in most of the development of downtown Brookhaven in recent years, financing many projects from restaurants to hotels to office buildings. In 2024, Bank of Brookhaven was ranked fourth in the state foroverall performance. Most of the bank’s leadership is made up of people who attended high school in LCSD, BSD or BA.
“Over the years, the bank has tried to be a great corporate citizen, giving back not only by financially sponsoring events, but also through service to area churches and schools,” said Shannon Aker, bank president and Co-Lin Foundation board member. “I believe Co-Lin is a great option for students and a quality education.”
Contributions to the Bank of Brookhaven Scholarship, or any other scholarship, can be mailed to the Co-Lin Foundation at P.O. Box 649, Wesson, MS 39191, or made online at https://www.colin.edu/alumni-foundation/give-now/.
