Aaron Posey Scholarship Fund
Upon the 2014 death of Mr. Aaron Posey, long time President and CEO of Blanco Bank, the bank established a scholarship fund to help local high school graduates with their college expenses. Throughout Mr. Posey's time with the bank he had helped numerous students as they pursued both undergraduate and graduate studies. The Scholarship Fund will carry on this tradition in his name.
