One of the things I’ve come to appreciate even more while serving as President of the Fresno Association of REALTORS® is how much impact we can make when we invest in the next generation. That’s why I wanted to personally share this opportunity from the Fresno Association of REALTORS® Aff iliates Foundation. Right now, the Foundation is offering scholarship opportunities for California students, including graduating high school seniors and community college students who meet the eligibility requirements. Some scholarships are worth up to $2,500 and are designed to help students pursue their educational goals while easing some of the financial pressure that often comes with college. What I love about programs like this is that they go beyond real estate. They’re about building stronger futures for families, students, and our entire community. Education opens doors, and sometimes all it takes is one opportunity, one application, or one person sharing the right information at the right time. The Fresno Association of REALTORS® Affiliates Foundation has already awarded more than $95,000 in scholarships throughout the community, and I’m proud to be part of an organization that continues investing back into Fresno in meaningful ways. Scholarship details and applications can be found here:FARAF Scholarship Information Applications And here’s my encouragement to students: apply even if you’re unsure. Too many people talk themselves out of opportunities before they even try. Scholarships like these are meant to support hardworking students with potential, leadership, perseverance, and a vision for their future. The application deadline is May 22, 2026, so time is running short. If you know a student, parent, teacher, counselor, or family who may qualify, I’d truly appreciate you passing this along. Sometimes one application really can change a future. ...read more read less
