Bluegrass Realtors® is honored to award 10 scholarships at $2,000 each to local high school seniors for the 2025 school year. Scholarship winners completed applications this spring as part of the Association’s Community Education and Outreach Committee’s goal of helping students, and investing in education, across the 38-county jurisdiction. As part of the application, applicants included an essay on the importance of homeownership.
“We are honored to celebrate high school seniors throughout the Bluegrass region. Our goal with the scholarship program is to create homeownership awareness with applicants during a pivotal time in their life,” said Todd Hyatt, president of Bluegrass Realtors®. “As an association, we are always looking to find ways to educate consumers on the importance of purchasing a home as it is one of the biggest financial decisions one will make in their lifetime.”

The Association has been involved in the school system with several initiatives over many decades and are thrilled to continue by offering this scholarship for the second year in a row.”
