The London and St. Thomas Association of REALTORS® (LSTAR) gave a total of $6,000 to four outstanding students, supporting post-secondary endeavours as they take the next step in their educational journeys.
The LSTAR Student Scholarship Awards recognize four university or college-bound students who have demonstrated academic excellence, a high level of school and community involvement, maturity, responsibility, initiative and strength of character. Eligible applicants must be either the children, grandchildren or under the legal guardianship of members of LSTAR or members’ staff. Each award recipient receives a $1,500 bursary.
“These students are the future leaders of our community and we congratulate them on their amazing achievements,” said Jim Smith, LSTAR President. “We are proud to support their post-secondary studies and wish them every success as they pursue their dreams.”
