Ep. 118 - The George Snow Scholarship Fund w/ Tim Snow and Jay Brandt

This week Staci Garcia and Matthew Maschler are thrilled to host Tim Snow and Jay Brandt of The George Snow Scholarship Fund to the Real Estate Finder Podcast.   Tim tells us about growing up in Boca Raton, with his father George who was a real estate developer and teacher.  We discuss Boca Raton real estate and reveal that Tim used to live in the very neighborhood Staci now lives in, and that I have a closing this week in.   We talk about the great work done by the The George Snow Scholarship Fund, and how it has awarded 375 scholarships to its scholars this year.  What types of students receive these scholarships, and other benefits aside from tuition payments come from being a Snow Scholar.  And what the process for applications looks like.
The George Snow Scholarship Fund is dedicated to helping deserving students in Palm Beach County achieve their career goals through their pursuit of higher education. By providing financial assistance and a host of supplementary support services, they ensure that hundreds of scholarship recipients have the resources they need to thrive academically.   For more details about the scholarship visit Scholarship.org   Tim Snow has resided in Boca Raton since 1958 when his family relocated to Boca Raton from Western Pennsylvania.
