APRO, the rent-to-own industry trade association, has joined with TRIB Group and state rental dealer associations in Florida, Kansas, Missouri and Tennessee to award more than $115,000 in college scholarships to 49 students.
The scholarships come from the APRO Education Foundation’s Scholarship Fund, which has been supported by APRO members for nearly a decade. Since the fund’s inception, more than $640,000 has been awarded to members of the rent-to-own family pursuing higher education.
One of this year’s recipients, Za’Kazia Morgan, is being awarded her fifth APRO scholarship and will graduate from Kennesaw State University with a bachelor of science in psychology.
“I feel so blessed and grateful,” Morgan said. “I cannot stress how much I’ve needed this throughout the years, but especially this year. I have been handed so many curveballs and this scholarship will ensure that I can stay in college and graduate this year. I cannot thank APRO and the donors enough. You have made my dreams come true.”
