Blanding student earns $500 savings account from Zions Bank for academic achievements

Good grades have paid off for Greydon Holliday, a seventh-grade student at Albert R. Lyman Middle School. Holliday has been awarded a $500 savings account as a regional winner of Zions Bank’s Pays for A’s program.

Kim Palmer, manager of Zions Bank’s Blandingbranch, announced Holliday’s win during a branch presentation in September.

“Good study habits help lay the groundwork for future success,” Palmer said. “We’re pleased to see Greydon’s academic discipline, which could help open doors for him in the future.”

Pays for A’s rewards students who put in the effort to make their grades count. Holliday was entered into the drawing by bringing his report card to Zions Bank. He was paid $1 for each “A” and received an entry into the spring scholarship drawing. Out of more than 1,800 entries, 18 students throughout Idaho and Utah were randomly selected as winners in their respective regions.

For more than two decades, Pays for A’s has rewarded thousands of students across Idaho and Utah for working hard in school. Middle school, junior high and high school students ages 12 to 18 can participate by bringing their most current term-end report card into any Zions Bank location. Students do not need a Zions Bank account to participate. They’ll receive $1 per “A” deposited into their savings account, or 50 cents per “A” if they opt for cash. For each “A” on their report cards, students are entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of 18 regional scholarship prizes each worth $500 and one grand prize worth $1,000 in each state.
