Sterling College business students are competing against over fifty student teams from 39 colleges and universities across the nation in the 2021 CSBS Community Bank Case Study Competition. The student teams will partner with local community banks to examine how they have navigated the Covid-19 pandemic and what they are doing for diversity and inclusion. Sterling students partnered with the First Bank of Sterling for the competition. 

Sterling College students Sydney Bangert, of Kingman, and Johanna Beck, of McPherson, were both awarded Green and Gold scholarships from the Kansas Independent College Foundation. KICF received 55 nominations for its collection of merit-based scholarships. A volunteer panel of nine judges helped select the 22 winners. Each nominated student had to submit detailed essays about their leadership training, their future career goals, and why they chose an independent option for their higher education.
