In 2006, the Greater Augusta Association of Realtors (GAAR) started the President’s Scholarship Award Program to recognize area high school seniors for their accomplishments and award scholarships to alleviate expenses of their college education. Since its inception and including this year’s recipients, the GAAR has awarded $110,000 to local students. The committee selects recipients based on academic achievements, extra-curricular activities, honors, and leadership positions held throughout their high school years.
Applications for 2019 scholarships will be available in late 2018 through high school guidance offices located in Aiken, Burke, Columbia, Lincoln, McDuffie, and Richmond counties.
