Ken D'Angelo Foundation prepares to award its first scholarships  The Ken D’Angelo Foundation, which grants scholarships to students pursuing an accredited college degree and career in franchising, real estate or entrepreneurship, is seeking applications from qualified applicants through June 15.
Franchisees are requested to “spread the word” to promote the available scholarships. Your children, relatives, friends, etc., are eligible for a scholarship. Students can download an application at kendangelofoundation.com. “The Foundation would like each franchise office to take an active role in identifying potential applicants for the scholarships,” said Jeff Burrell, president of the Foundation and part-owner of the HomeVestors TRED Properties franchise in Houston. “Nominations for the scholarships may be made anytime between January 1 and June 15 of any given year. We will award the first ever scholarships this summer. Scholarships will be granted in various dollar increments. The Foundation's Board of Directors will determine the number of scholarships to be awarded this year.” Contributions by franchisees to the Ken D’Angelo Foundation are always appreciated. Several franchisees have agreed to donate money to the Foundation for each house they sell during the year. Checks and credit cards are accepted! In addition to the scholarships, the Foundation donated $10,000 in 2005 to the Mayo Clinic Foundation, with funds earmarked for bile duct cancer research. Ken D'Angelo's life was claimed by bile duct cancer. . . . For more information about the scholarships or the Foundation, please contact Vonda Mathews at the Ken D’Angelo Foundation/ HomeVestors of America at 972-761-0046.
