Hanna Jon Lewis ('16) and Wil Taylor ('14) are among the recipients of the 2016 Jack Parker Scholarship recipients given by Synovus.
This year, 90 scholarships totaling $104,000 were awarded to children of Synovus team members across the company’s five-state footprint. Scholarship funds are generated each year through team member donations and internal fundraising activities.
Lewis, a freshman at the University of Georgia, is the daughter of Synovus CEO Angie Lewis and her husband, Jon. Taylor, a junior at Georgia College and State University, is the son of Director of Commercial Banking Sales and Support Michael Taylor and Darlington art teacher Jennifer Moore.
The scholarship program is named in honor of Jack B. Parker, whose career with the Synovus family of companies spanned 44 years.
The scholarship program is managed by the Jack B. Parker Foundation Inc. to award college or vocational institution scholarships to team members’ children who excel academically, demonstrate strong leadership, and are involved in activities to improve their communities. Since its inception in 1988, the foundation has awarded more than $2 million in scholarships.
