Congratulations to Fourth Quarter 2024 Regions Riding Forward Scholarship Contest Winners
By Mel Campbell
Achieving great things is something to be honored. But what about the people who were the driving forces behind that success? What about the people who inspired someone to strive for something more?
Honoring these inspirational people is at the heart of the Regions Riding Forward® Scholarship Contest.
With the announcement of winners for the fourth quarter of 2024, Regions completed its selection of four winners of the Regions Riding Forward® Scholarship Contest for each quarter of 2024. Each of these winning students receive a check in the amount of $8,000 made out to their designated accredited college.
In 2024, Regions revamped the scholarship contest to provide more opportunities for students to apply. The contest invites eligible high school and college students to submit a video essay or traditional written essay on someone they know in their community who has inspired them and helped them build the confidence to achieve their goals.
Fourth quarter 2024 Contest winners and the individuals they highlighted in their award-winning submissions include (follow links to read/watch their submissions):
Lacey Aho, Campobello, Jenkins, Columbus, Regan, Wake Forest, Sur, Austin, Tex.

The Regions Riding Forward Scholarship contest has awarded over $1.4 million in educational assistance to more than 400 students over the past 12 years.
