Ashby & Graff Educational Support Award
Ashby & Graff Real Estate recognizes the importance of higher education and is committed to uplifting the families of those who contribute to their success.
Higher education can open up countless doors, bringing about valuable opportunities and experiences. A degree or certificate can help one obtain career freedom, job security, competitive wages, and personal fulfillment. However, earning a degree is a difficult and expensive task that the average student can’t afford.
This scholarship aims to support students who are preparing for college so that they can afford to complete their programs and earn their degrees.
Any high school senior accepted to an accredited college, university, or trade school or current undergraduate student may apply for this scholarship if they live in California, or are a dependent of someone who lives in California or works for a California based employer. Applicants demonstrating academic achievement, financial need, or who are related to an employee or contractor of Ashby & Graff Real Estate are particularly encouraged to apply.
To apply, tell us how the information in John Graff’s “Real Insights” chapter two applies to your desired career field.
Read chapter two of the book “Real Insights” by John Graff, and write a 250-500 word essay on how the information is applicable to your desired field of work.
