Eligibility Criteria 

The Torrington Savings Bank Scholarship(s) are awarded to graduating seniors who (or parents/guardians) are customers of Torrington Savings Bank and that have been accepted to an accredited two-year or four-year college or university. The accomplishments we achieve as a community bank cannot be separated from our mission and core values. Although, an applicant’s academic success is a factor, our scholarship program also considers applicants for their capacity to lead, their integrity, as well as their dedication to making an impact on their schools and communities. 

How To Apply: 

You or a parent/guardian/grandparent must be a Torrington Savings Bank customer with an account prior to applying. If you’re not a customer, no problem, apply in a branch or online for a checking or savings account.  

As part of your application, you must provide the following materials:  

• Letter of reference from a teacher or academic advisor 
• Letter of reference from a parent or guardian 
• Official transcript 
• College acceptance letter 
• A 300 minimum -600 maximum word essay response to the following topic:
  • At Torrington Savings Bank, our core values – People, Excellence, Integrity, Collaboration, and Community – guide everything we do.
    • In your essay, describe how your personal values align with one or more of these principles, and share how continuing your education will help you achieve your goals.  

The Scholarship application period is now open. Completed applications should be postmarked by May 1, 2026.
