2025 “Believing In Home Ownership” Scholarship Essays Submissions

Over the years, many of the volunteers that have had the pleasure of reading the contest entries have said the same thing... "If you could only read some of these!"

So we decided to post them here for your reading pleasure. Each anonymous essay was a contest entry by a local senior. Some you may want to have a tissue ready for, because they will pull at your heart strings.

Reading the essays will help you see why we do what we do. The need is great and this is just a small drop in the bucket.

None of it would be possible without the tireless work of our PR Committee and the generosity of our Industry Partners.

Thank you each for your valuable contributions, and we look forward to partnering again next year!
