"We decided to do this because we realize there is great value in education," said Roscoe Business Development Officer Johnny Sanders. "We saw there was an avenue to help facilitate these scholarships and wanted to help."

The foundation was created to provide graduating Bastrop County high school students with $10,000 scholarships toward furthering their education, said Sharon Stanberry Rosshirt, present and CEO of Stanberry Realtors.
Students from the following districts can apply for the scholarships:
