The deadline to submit a Statement of Interest for the 2022 Community Bank Case Study Competition has been extended  to January 31. 

The extension gives faculty advisors three additional weeks to submit the first step of the competition. The date to identify and fully register student teams remains unchanged and is still February 21. 

This year, student teams are asked to examine how community banking has changed in the last 10 years and expectations for the next decade.  

It is the eighth year of the annual case study competition, which is open to undergraduate students in all fields of study. Each student team will partner with a local community bank to conduct original case studies.  

The top three winners receive scholarships, and their work will be published in the CSBS Journal of Community Bank Case Studies. The first-place winner will also be invited to present at the tenth annual CSBS-Federal Reserve-FDIC Community Banking in the 21st Century Research and Policy Conference.  

A team from the University of Tennessee at Martin won the 2021 case study competition, which focused how community banks navigated the Covid-19 pandemic and renewed calls for financial institutions to promote diversity and inclusion.
