Ameris Bank Marks America\u2019s 250th<\/sup> Birthday with $25,000 Gift to Support Military Education<\/b><\/p>\n

ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nIn commemoration of America\u2019s 250th<\/sup> birthday, Ameris Bank is donating $25,000 to the University of North Georgia (UNG) to support education for the nation\u2019s up-and-coming military leaders.<\/p>\n

\nThe funds will enable 25 high school students to attend the university\u2019s National Leadership Challenge weekend event, along with 10 scholarships of $2,000 each for entering freshman cadets.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe wanted to honor the nation in a way that is meaningful with lasting benefits,\u201d said Ameris CEO Palmer Proctor. \u201cAs a financial institution, we recognize the strain on many families to send their children to college, and this is one way we can provide financial peace of mind for deserving students who desire to serve our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSince 1873, UNG has been developing leaders of character who are prepared to serve, lead and make a difference from day one. Through America\u2019s Corps \u2014 one of only six federally designated senior military colleges in the nation and the Military College of Georgia \u2014 UNG has built a nationally recognized model for leadership development grounded in integrity, resilience, teamwork and service. The National Leadership Challenge is offered each fall and spring semester, and space is limited to 200 students.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe National Leadership Challenge provides prospective cadets an opportunity to experience that model firsthand through an immersive leadership experience. Participants are challenged to build confidence, solve complex problems, work as a team, and discover their own leadership potential in a demanding and supportive environment,\u201d said retired Lt. Gen. James Terry, senior vice president and superintendent of UNG\u2019s Cadet Leadership Academy. \u201cThe donation by Ameris Bank will help many qualified students explore a career in the military and provide much-needed tuition for a group of new cadets to begin their training.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nAmeris Bank was founded in 1971 and has expanded to support retail customers across the southeast, and commercial and mortgage customers nationally. \u201cWe are proud to have grown as the country has prospered, and the Ameris Bank team stands ready to support continued economic development and the American dream for years to come,\u201d Proctor said.<\/p>\n
