Texas Southern University and Regions Bank Announce Community Partnership to Elevate Student Programming, Scholarships

By Tracy Clemons and Kim Borges | December 16, 2022

HOUSTON – Dec. 14, 2022 – Texas Southern University and Regions Bank on Wednesday announced a $50,000 community partnership to support programming and scholarships for TSU’s Jesse H. Jones School of Business (JHJ). In addition to Regions’ $50,000 grant to TSU, bank associates will support the new collaboration by participating in educational and mentoring activities with students.

“The community partnership between TSU and Regions Bank will be invaluable for our students and faculty,” said Melinda Spaulding, vice president for advancement and communications. “Our university is a premiere producer of diverse talent. We are excited that Regions Bank recognizes the value of our TSU students and the difference this collaboration will make in their lives.”

The gift will support TSU’s Future Bankers Leadership Program (FBLP). FBLP was established in the fall of 2021 to give TSU business students direct exposure to commercial banking and introduce them to the industry through a formal curriculum, interaction with executives and industry mentors, and commercial banking internships. The contribution aligns with Regions Bank’s strategic focus on elevating education and workforce readiness initiatives.

“TSU’s Future Bankers Leadership Program is preparing students for successful careers in financial services by combining classroom learning with interactive experiences,” said John Stacy, Commercial Banking leader and market executive for Regions Bank in Houston. “Regions Bank is proud to support this program with our gift and through the support of our associates. We view this community partnership as a way to not only shape tomorrow’s banking leaders, but to shape Houston’s future community leaders.”

For two consecutive semesters, FBLP students achieved a 100% passage rate on the Risk Management Association Credit Essentials Certificate, giving them a distinct advantage as they pursue careers in the finance and banking industry.

The gift from Regions Bank will also support scholarships.
