SHAZAM®, KASASA, AND CBSC SCHOLARSHIPS

About the SHAZAM®, Kasasa and CBSC Scholarships

The SHAZAM®, Kasasa, and CBSC Scholarships are sponsored by the SHAZAM, Kasasa, and Community BancService Corporation (CBSC). Scholarships are $1,000 per year for up to four years of higher education. SHAZAM has been a preferred service provider of CBSC since 2000 and is governed by a board that includes community bankers. Its product/service menu includes: ATM processing, ATM and debit-card products, card-authorization services, merchant processing, ACH services, and information-security solutions. Kasasa has been a preferred service provider of CBSC since 2006. Kasasa is a leading provider of innovative products, world-class marketing, and data-driven consulting solutions to community financial institutions across the U.S. Kasasa products are designed to deliver controlled new account growth, higher profitability, and increased customer retention. Both firms have proven to be a valuable supporter of CBAI, its subsidiaries, and its members including Community BancPac contributions, Convention exhibiting, sponsorships, and advertising. CBSC is the business-services affiliate of CBAI. The Foundation is deeply gratified by this latest, and most impressive, show of support.
