Since 2008, the APRO Charitable Foundation has been dedicated to providing scholarships to rent-to-own professionals and their families. Thanks to the generous support of APRO members, our scholarship fund has awarded 522 scholarships totaling $1,180,250 to date, to help students connected to the rent-to-own industry pursue their college and trade school degrees.

How RTO Has Impacted Our Recipients
State Associations Collaboration
State Associations can combine their charitable efforts with the APRO Scholarship Fund. With this arrangement, APRO will:
- Add the State Association as an option on the scholarship application;
- Manage each scholarship applicant’s criteria evaluation; and
- Assist in distributing scholarship funds.
State Associations must define their contribution before APRO releases the scholarship application and must name their scholarship recipients(s) once the application process is complete.
For more information about combining your State Association’s charitable efforts with the APRO Scholarship Fund, please email us at info@rtohq.org or call us at (512) 794-0095.
