The Chemical Banks were a family of community banks affiliated with CFC, and committed to providing quality financial services from numerous locations throughout Michigan. Chemical Bank branch offices and their employees took pride in a strong tradition of involvement in their local communities and their “neighbor-helping-neighbor” spirit. Their employees were actively involved in charitable organizations and community events as leaders, members, and volunteers. Chemical Bank & Trust Company of Midland, Chemical Bank Bay Area, and Chemical Bank Thumb Area (Caro) established the scholarship fund in 1998 to award achievement and assist students in their service areas.
