What is Bank Day?<\/h3>\n

The third Tuesday in March was declared Bank Day in Virginia by the Virginia General Assembly in 1991. On this day, Virginia high school seniors spend a day in banks across the Commonwealth shadowing a banker in their daily duties. The purpose of this experience is for the students to learn about banking, financial services, and the vital role banks play in their communities. <\/p>\n

From their experience, the students are required to write an essay, and thirteen scholarships (six honorable mention, six regional and one statewide) are awarded on the basis of the essays. <\/p>\n
