LOCAL REALTOR® FOUNDATION TO AWARD $10,000 IN SCHOLARSHIPS

January 27, 2006 - The Austin Board of REALTORS® (ABoR) Foundation is once again presenting $10,000 in scholarships to graduating high school seniors. Ten scholarships of $1,000 each will be awarded for use at any Texas college or university. Students must be graduating seniors from any of the following counties: Travis, Williamson, Lee, Bastrop, Caldwell, Hays, Blanco or Burnet.

Grade point average, SAT/ACT scores, extracurricular activities and previous employment will all be reviewed by the ABoR Scholarship Committee. Students must include a high school transcript and an attendance record with their application. A written essay is not required.

"The ABoR Foundation believes it is important to invest in our community by assisting our future leaders in furthering their education," said ABoR Foundation chairman Buck Sandlin.

Applicants are highly encouraged to include recommendations from teachers, principals, counselors or friends of the family. A maximum of five letters will be accepted. Financial need will be considered, but it is not a deciding factor.

ABoR must receive the applications by 5 p.m. on March 31, 2006. For more information on the scholarships and application process, click here.
