Invitation Homes Launches “There’s No Place Like Home” Scholarship Contest
DALLAS (PRWEB) September 17, 2018 -- Invitation Homes (NYSE: INVH) today announced a scholarship contest called “There’s No Place Like Home,” an essay-based program that will provide highly motivated students a chance to win $1,000 toward college expenses. The inaugural contest asks high school seniors and college students to submit a thoughtful, 800-word essay about what they took – or are planning to take – to college to make their new environment feel like home and why this item is important to them. The top five essays will be chosen and judged by an independent third-party panel, receive $1,000 in scholarship money and be featured in the Invitation Homes blog.
“At Invitation Homes, we understand that your childhood home has an effect in shaping you,” said Dallas Tanner, interim president of Invitation Homes. “We thought it would be fun to hear stories from students about a special memento they take to college that reminds them of home,” Tanner continued.
To be qualified to enter, applicants must be a graduating high school senior or an enrolled freshman, sophomore or junior in college between the ages of 16 and 22. More details about contest eligibility requirements and guidelines can be found here.
All submissions will be collected by a third party and provided anonymously to judges who will pick their five favorite essays. Winners will be announced and notified on November 9, 2018. Deadline for entries is October 31, 2018. One of the five scholarships is dedicated to an Invitation Homes resident.
