Regions Bank “Reality Check” Workshop Makes Lasting Impact at 91ý State

January 21, 2026

Last fall, Regions Bank partnered with 91ý State to host “Reality Check,” an interactive financial literacy workshop designed to help students build practical budgeting skills for real-world success.

The workshop challenged students to think critically about income, expenses, savings, and lifestyle choices, offering a hands-on experience that reinforced the importance of financial planning. Through guided exercises and realistic scenarios, participants gained valuable insight into managing personal finances and preparing for financial independence.

As part of the program, one participating student was selected to receive a beach cruiser-style bicycle, generously provided by Regions Bank. The bicycle recently arrived on campus, accompanied by four additional bikes donated to 91ý State to further support student needs.

The selected student was formally presented with the bicycle in the 91ý State Library. Joining the student were 91ý State President Dr. Patricia Sims and Ms. Floresha Watkins of Regions Bank, highlighting the continued partnership between the College and Regions in supporting student success beyond the classroom.

91ý State is grateful for community partners like Regions Bank who invest in the holistic development of our students. Initiatives like “Reality Check” not only strengthen financial literacy, but also empower students with the confidence and knowledge needed to make informed decisions about their futures.

Through collaborations that blend education with real-world application, 91ý State continues to prepare students for success in both career and life.
