\u201cWe are deeply appreciative of Ent\u2019s continued support of the university and its students,\u201d Shockley-Zalabak said. \u201cTheir contribution has helped many southern Colorado residents achieve their dreams of a college education and financial success.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the next two years, Ent, the university\u2019s official banking partner, will continue to provide financial support for UCCS student scholarships as well as high-profile efforts such as the Southern Colorado Economic Forum produced by the UCCS College of Business, the Karen Possehl Women\u2019s Endowment Unstoppable Women Luncheon, and an athletic booster club.<\/p>\n

The KPWE Scholarship supports non-traditional women students interested in earning a college degree. Ent\u2019s donation will fund two KPWE scholarships as well as two UCCS Reach Your Peak Scholarships, five student-athlete scholarships and five alumni scholarships.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnt is proud to be associated with UCCS and the important role they play in the community,\u201d Emmer said. \u201cIn addition to scholarship support, the strong partnership between our organizations has enabled us to provide the Lion OneCard and other high quality financial products and services to the students and faculty right on campus. \u201d<\/p>\n

In 2006, Ent became the official banking partner for UCCS. Ent operates a service center and ATMs on campus and provides faculty, staff and students with the option of an identification card called the Lion OneCard that doubles as an ATM and Visa debit card. In November, Ent and UCCS agreed to extend the agreement through July 31, 2016.<\/p>\n
