Applicants submitted a written application with a narrative and then finalists were selected for in-person interviews. The caliber of applications is commendable and we are proud to be able to honor these individuals with outstanding potential. Members of the Williamson County Association of REALTORS® started the Foundation and are excited to be able to support the future of our community through recognition of these graduates,” said Jeremy Pittman, Chair of the Scholarship Committee.
