The Middle Tennessee Association of REALTORS® (MTAR) has begun their annual Scholarship Awards process for fall 2016/spring 2017. Scholarship applications were mailed out January 5th to guidance counselors in all high schools in the 8-county MTAR service area. MTAR serves Bedford, Cannon, Coffee, Franklin, Grundy, Marion, Moore and Rutherford Counties in Tennessee.

Scholarship applications are accepted each spring from high school seniors planning to attend an accredited 2-year or 4-year college or university that is physically located within the 8-county MTAR area. In addition, the student must currently reside in one of those counties. This year's scholarships are for fall 2016 and spring 2017. They may be used for any expense the student may incur.

Area seniors should ask their guidance counselor for an application. The application can also be downloaded from the Middle Tennessee Association of REALTORS® website, www.mtar.org.
