Bluegrass Realtors® will offer 10 scholarships at $2,000 each to high school seniors for the 2024 school year. This new scholarship program is part of the Association’s Community Education and Outreach Committee’s goal of helping students, and investing in education, across the 30-county jurisdiction.
“Bluegrass Realtors® is excited to launch this new scholarship program which will assist graduating seniors during a significant time in their life. Our hope is to bring awareness to the next generation of homeowners about the numerous benefits that come with owning a home,” said Randy Newsome, president of Bluegrass Realtors®.
Applications for the scholarships will remain open until Thursday, February 15 with the goal of notifying recipients by April 15. Applicants must be a high school senior graduating in the 2023/2024 school year who resides in the Association’s 30 county jurisdiction. Applications must include an essay on the importance of home ownership with a preference given to students who plan to major in business or a real estate related field of study.
“Throughout the Community Education and Outreach Committee’s history, we have invested in a variety of programs at all levels of education. By giving preference to those who plan to start down the path into higher education and perhaps a career in business or real estate, we anticipate these scholarships will grow and strengthen the next group of real estate professionals,” said Tyanne Whitworth, chair of the Association’s Community Education and Outreach Committee.
Scholarships will go towards attendance at a post-secondary institution or trade school program in Kentucky.
