The ABoR Foundation awarded a total of $62,000 in scholarships to 32 Central Texas high school seniors and college students, according to a June 29 ABoR news release.

We’re thankful for the generosity of our REALTOR donors and volunteers who spent countless hours reviewing applications this spring.”
