Murray, Ky.–FNB Bank of Mayfield has announced their continued commitment to Murray State University through the establishment of the FNB Bank Fund for Excellence to support the Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business.
FNB has remained deeply rooted in western Kentucky. Founded in 1875 as the First National Bank of Mayfield, the bank has been locally owned, locally operated, and solidly dedicated to serving its community. Over the decades, FNB has weathered challenges, from rebuilding after disasters to expanding its footprint across the Jackson Purchase region. Through it all, FNB has maintained a strong commitment to community service and financial strength.
It is within this legacy of stability, community-first banking, and giving back that FNB Bank proudly continues its long-standing support of Murray State with its FNB Bank Fund for Excellence. The bank’s leadership recognizes the vital role of Murray State in supporting faculty, students and staff as well as the close ties between the bank and the region. The Fund for Excellence will benefit the Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business and its key role in educating future leaders of the region’s business community for years to come.
“FNB has been a proud partner of the University for many years, and redirecting our long-standing endowment commitment to the College of Business reflects our focus as a company and our belief in the value of business education,” said CEO of FNB Bank Paul Scott. “By investing these funds into enhancing instruction, expanding scholarships, and strengthening programs within the College of Business, we’re supporting the development of future business leaders.”
“Murray State University and the Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business appreciate the support and commitment that FNB Bank has provided,” said Dean of Murray State’s Arthur J. Bauernfeind College of Business Dr. Heath Keller. “Their investment and dedication to our mission will assist students and faculty in teaching real-world applications for an ever-changing job market and in preparing students to be leaders in the industries and fields they enter. It is leaders like FNB Bank who provide valuable support both in and out of the classroom.”
