It’s scholarship season at the Chatham-Kent Association of Realtors (CKAR).
Each year, the organization awards scholarships to graduates from the families of members for post-secondary education.
This year, three deserving recipients have each been awarded a scholarship to support their university studies in Ontario.
They are Alyssa Nead, daughter of CKAR member Kristen Nead; Georgia Pitblado, granddaughter of CKAR members Jim and Judy Kovacs; and Brendan Szymanski, brother of Rachel Szymanski, also a CKAR member.
All three of these students have shown community involvement by volunteering, while maintaining a high-grade average, CKAR officials said.
“This is another way realtors care for their community, by giving back to the upcoming generation of young professionals,” said Barbara McCaughrin, president of CKAR, in a media release.
The scholarship program is open to members of CKAR who have a child, stepchild, grandchild, niece, nephew, or ward under legal guardianship who wish to apply.
Individuals must be accepted into an accredited college or university, community college, or recognised technical or trade school at the time the award is issued.
The 2026 application will be available in mid-June 2026.
