How to Qualify

The student must be enrolled in third through twelfth grade. Student’s parent or guardian must have an active deposit account at Flanagan in order for the student to qualify. The parent may be on the YAA, but is not required. Homeschool students are eligible.

The student must present their latest semester report card and will receive $5 for each A or equivalent A, up to a max of $25 per card. Report cards can be emailed to yaa@flanaganstatebank.com by the deadline of February 1st or July 1st, depending on the semester on the report card. One report card per semester (at the end of the 2nd and 4th quarter). For students on a trimester school schedule, first and third trimester report cards will be accepted. No back dating or rewards for previous report cards.

At the end of each semester, students who have documented perfect attendance on their semester report card will receive a bonus reward deposit of $25, for a max of $50 per school year. Perfect attendance is defined as having no absences, excused or unexcused. Rewards will be posted to the Youth Achievement Accounts on the last business day in either February or July, depending on the semester on the report card. Rewards subject to change.
