Traver won the District 5 scholarship award; Rossi received the District 6 scholarship award; and Tate-Cortese won the District 12 scholarship award. The state scholarship winners are excited about college and look forward to achieving their educational goals. Traver plans on studying education or political science at Ave Maria University, in hopes of teaching high school one day. She says she learned a lot about how deeply Realtors are involved in fostering the growth and strength of a community by entering the state association's essay contest. The scholarships from Florida Realtors literally made her college dreams come true, according to Rossi. My parents were so excited that they could afford to send me to The Boston Conservatory. She recalls how excited she was upon learning she was one of the winners of the Florida Realtors scholarships. My mom called me screaming with joy, and my dad was blown away and speechless because these awards are such a monumental help for them since they are paying for me to attend a private school on the other side of the country. This scholarship made a tremendous difference for myself and my parents because it has saved me from taking large student loans out, which is not only a relief for this year but for the next 10 years that I would worry about paying it back. It provides programs, services, continuing education, research and legislative representation to its 115,000 members in 64 boards/associations.
