Marquis Bank has committed $275,000 to help low-income children in Miami-Dade County receive quality educational opportunities.
“There is a significant need in Miami-Dade County, and assisting the youth of South Florida is a very important part of Marquis Bank’s mission and values,” said Wanda Marin, Marquis Bank’s compliance officer and audit manager.
“It is our belief that this gift can help children to build on their future and the future of our community. I would like to encourage other banks in South Florida to join in this positive effort to give more educational options to the low-income children of Miami-Dade,” Marin added.
Marquis Bank donated through the AAA Scholarship Foundation, which awards scholarships solely to qualifying low-income, disabled or displaced students. It is one of two scholarship funding organizations approved to administer the Florida Tax Credit Scholarship Program.
The scholarships enable low-income children to gain access to schools that will lead to a successful outcome.
