In 2014, the employees of West Plains Bank and Trust Company established a scholarship program with the purpose of supporting college-level study for young people interested in the field of banking. In 2025, $2,000, one-time scholarships will be awarded to graduating seniors attending West Plains High School, Liberty High School, Willow Springs High School, and Houston High School.

Gohn, West Plains Bank and Trust Company President and Chief Executive Officer. “A career in banking offers a rewarding opportunity to support community growth and help customers achieve their goals.
