Woodyard Realty Corp. believes access to education for all Memphians means a better Memphis for everyone.
That’s why they’re launching a new scholarship program to help students advance their education and careers right here in Memphis!
Woodyard Realty Corporation has been selling apartment complexes in the Memphis area since 1984. “For forty years, our goal has always been improving inner city neighborhoods and improving the quality of life for Memphians,” says president Steve Woodyard.
Their brand new scholarship program will help Memphians take a giant leap forward! Three scholarships will be awarded to apartment residents or employees who are pursuing their education in Memphis.
EDUCATION IS THE KEY TO THE FUTURE OF OUR CITY.
We know that too many kids in Memphis are living in poverty, and it negatively impacts their access to quality education, especially after high school. Higher education is sometimes not an option for many young Memphians without the financial support.
Woodyard Realty Corp. wants to make a real difference in the lives of Memphians. That’s why they’ve joined Give901 to invest in education and create opportunities for success.
Like Give901, Woodyard Realty Corp. believes the future of our city depends on a diverse generation prepared to work for a stronger Memphis. However, too many are at a disadvantage because they don’t have the resources to pay for education. Woodyard Realty Corp.’s goal is to reduce those financial barriers, and provide young students and workers an opportunity to achieve their dreams.
