Hancock Whitney Donates to USA Social Justice Scholarship

Hancock Whitney Corp. has pledged $20,000 to the University of South Alabama (USA) Leadership in Social Justice and Perseverance Scholarship, FOX10 recently reported. Bank officials say “the funds are designed to help promising young social justice leaders pursue higher education at USA.” The Mitchell-Moulton Scholarship Initiative will match the amount, significantly contributing to USA’s $500,000 fundraising goal for the new scholarship, which was established through a university partnership with 100 Black Men of Greater Mobile. The bank designated its contribution to benefit only low-to-moderate-income students. Hancock Whitney Alabama Market President Guy Helmsing, based in Mobile, said, “We are proud to continue growing our relationship with USA by supporting a scholarship that offers financial resources for deserving young leaders in social justice to achieve their dreams and make a difference.”
