Hear From Our Former Interns
Brenna Jenkins
Intern Class of 2023
"This summer I had the privilege to intern at First State Community Bank with the Business Services Team. All of these people never hesitated to take me on meetings with them or take their time to educate me on their market and the bank as a whole. I got to travel to numerous banks and sit in on many customer meetings. With that, I met so many awesome people I cannot thank this team enough for such a fun and educational summer. I loved getting to know all of them. FSCB truly is the best and I couldn’t recommend this program enough!!"
Hasan Mahini
Intern Class of 2023
"I thoroughly enjoyed my internship experience. I never got bored during my time here since I always had something new to look forward to. I believe my time in each position was valuable towards my growth as a professional and helped me identify what my career might look like in the future."
Emma Spiker
Intern Class of 2022
"With my internship in Financial Crimes, I was able to tap into something a little bit different than people at other organizations. I was able to really work on my professionalism."
Hau Phan
Intern Class of 2021
"If you're looking to gain exposure to financial services, seeking mentorship from extremely intelligent and kind financial professionals, and hoping to complete impactful work for the summer, then this internship program is for you. I had no financial experience going into the internship, and I left thinking I can't see myself working in any other industry."
