Adina Jones, branch service manager of Zions Bank’s Kanab branch, announced Kenworthy’s win dur­ing a branch presenta­tion on March 16.

“We’re delighted to celebrate Myla’s com­mitment to her edu­cation,” Jones said. “It takes discipline to earn top grades and we hope Myla’s success inspires other students to pursue their goals.”

Pays for A’s rewards students who put in the effort to make their grades count. Kenwor­thy was entered into the drawing by bring­ing her report card to Zions Bank. She was paid $1 for each “A” and received an entry into the spring scholarship drawing. Out of more than 1,300 entries, 18 students throughout Idaho and Utah were randomly selected as winners in their re­spective regions.

For more than two de­cades, Pays for A’s has rewarded thousands of students across Idaho and Utah for working hard in school. Middle school, junior high and high school students ages 12 to 18 can par­ticipate by bringing their most current term-end report card into any Zions Bank location. Students do not need a Zions Bank account to participate. They’ll receive $1 per “A” deposited into their savings account, or 50 cents per “A” if they opt for cash. For each “A” on their report cards, students are entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of 18 regional scholarship prizes each worth $500 and one grand prize worth $1,000 in each state.
