APRO Announces Rent-to-Own Scholarship Recipients

APRO, TRIB Group and state rental dealer associations in Florida, Kansas, Missouri and Tennessee announced this week that 49 students will be awarded more than $115,000 in college scholarships as part of the APRO Education Foundation’s Scholarship Fund. For almost a decade, APRO members have contributed significantly to the fund, which so far has awarded more than $640,000 to members of the rent-to-own family pursuing higher education. This year, one of the 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 says. “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.” The following 2017 scholarship recipients are listed by in alphabetical order.
