Recipients of the Frank B. Holding, Sr. Scholarship are selected through an academic competition and receive a full scholarship (i.e. tuition, fees, room, board and books) to pursue their studies in business administration, trust and wealth management, accounting, or related fields.

Beyond financial assistance, scholars join a network of high-achieving students and alumni who embody the values Mr. Holding championed throughout his 58-year career with First Citizens.
