The Prince Georgeโ€™s County Association of Realtors, the countyโ€™s leading advocate for real estate and private property rights, has selected four county high school seniors to receive $2,500 college scholarships.

The scholarships will be awarded through the associationโ€™s David Maclin Memorial Scholarship Fund.

โ€œCommunity service plays an important role in building neighborhoods,โ€ said association President Patricia Dowtin. โ€œThese young people have demonstrated community spirit and have unselfishly given back to their community. For that, Realtors are excited to help them attain their future education goals.โ€

In honor of the late Realtor David Maclinโ€™s contributions to Prince Georgeโ€™s County, the scholarship fund recognizes a studentโ€™s commitment to community service, based on the theme โ€œHow I Made A Difference In My Community.โ€

The 2017 scholarship recipients are:

โ€ข Tynetta Devine of Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC, who plans to attend Trinity Washington University;

โ€ข Jacoby Hicks of Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC, planning to attend University of Maryland Baltimore;

โ€ข Jamiya Kirkland of Academy of Health Sciences at PGCC, who will attend Howard University; and

โ€ข Jorden White of Bishop McNamara High School, planning to attend North Carolina A&T State University.
