H. Watts Steger (right), Chairman of the Board of the Bank of Botetourt, and Dr. John Rainone, President of Dabney S. Lancaster Community College, celebrate the donation of $33,000 to fully endow the bank’s annual scholarship, which has been renamed the Bank of Botetourt H. Watts Steger, III, Scholarship. Established in 2011, the scholarship assists deserving students from Botetourt or Rockbridge counties who wish to attend DSLCC, while also honoring Steger, the bank’s former president and CEO. Steger, who served the Virginia banking community for over 40 years, always encouraged bank employees to further their education and training; the scholarship honors Steger’s advocacy for higher education and lifelong learning. The gift includes a three-year pledge to continue as a patron sponsor of the DSLCC Educational Foundation’s biennial “Bubbles, Bands and Brunch” event. The Bank of Botetourt donation is also part of “Imagine, Invest, Inspire – The Campaign for DSLCC”, a comprehensive major gifts campaign with the goal of raising $3.5 million for student scholarships and success, college advancement and new initiatives, and expansion of services throughout DSLCC’s footprint. Publically announced in September, the campaign has raised over $2.6 million to date. For more information contact Rachael Thompson, DSLCC Educational Foundation director, at (540) 863-2837 or email rthompson@dslcc.edu.
