At Polaris Real Estate Partners, our vision is to redefine what we consider “home” as both a place to live and a community where people interact every day. As a housing provider, we understand the importance of building and fostering strong, tight-knit and supportive communities in each of our properties. For this reason, we have developed various community-centric programs that appeal to our properties’ residents through our four pillars: Education, Community Building, Health & Wellness, and Safety & Security.
 
With that mission in mind, we are launching the Polaris Community Foundation. Its new scholarship program is called “The Polaris Community Foundation – Here to invest in YOU”. This is a merit-based scholarship program designed to support our student residents in their pursuit of a higher education. This program is available for any resident at our properties who is graduating or who has recently graduated from high school and is pursuing a higher education degree. Applicants must submit an application with 5 essay questions to be considered for a scholarship.
 
Applications are due on June 30th, 2023. Scholarship recipients will be announced on July 31st, 2023. The scholarships include 5 Gold Scholarships ($4,000 each); 10 Silver Scholarships ($2,000 each) and 10 Bronze Scholarships (Laptop). Polaris Real Estate Partners will match 50% of all donated funds, up to a total of $25,000. More detail about the scholarship program can be found at:   https://polaris-lp.com/polaris-foundation/
 
“Polaris Real Estate Partners is committed to investing in young people, and we hope that this scholarship program will encourage students to pursue their higher degree and follow their dreams,” said Travis Pacoe, General Partner of Polaris Real Estate Partners and Co-Chair of The Polaris Community Foundation. “We believe this small act of charity can create enormous potential to initiate change - all young people play an important role in shaping the world’s future,” noted Ron Abta, Co-Chair of the Foundation.
