The Williams Works program at Williams Baptist University has received a financial boost from First National Bank of Commerce. Amy Fitzgerald, CFO at First National, presented a $7,500 check to WBU President Dr. Stan Norman.

“We cannot thank First National Bank of Commerce enough for their loyal support of Williams,” said Norman. “This bank’s ongoing generosity helps make the Williams Works initiative a success and makes it possible for students to work their way to an academically outstanding, Christ-centered education.”

Students in the Williams Works program work 16 hours per week during the fall and spring semesters. In return, their tuition and student service fees are fully covered for each semester they participate. Moreover, students have the opportunity to work full-time during the summer, with their room and board expenses also covered, providing students a pathway to graduate debt-free.

Williams is a private, Christian university located in Walnut Ridge.
