For the ninth year, Bank Iowa is offering graduating high school seniors in the Des Moines area an opportunity to apply for the Spirit of Chandy Scholarship. Bank Iowa annually awards up to 20 $500 scholarships to commendable high school students across the state. The scholarship is a tribute to Bank Iowa co-founder Harry Barr’s daughter, Chandy Barr Clanton, who died in 2009 at the age of 36 while piloting her aerobatic plane during a training flight. Clanton was a successful businesswoman, competitive athlete, a pilot and a mother of two sons. The application deadline is March 25, and recipients will be announced in May. To apply for the scholarship, visit the Bank Iowa website.
