“KPost Roofing & Waterproofing has always believed that we are a blessed company and, as such, should pay it forward," reads KPost Company's website.
The company established their non-profit organization, KPost Charities in 2015, and has since awarded over $80,000 in scholarships. Additionally, the charity has fundraised for Susan B. Komen, Operation Kindness and Easter Seals in addition to collecting and donating stuffed animals for children in local area hospitals and donating backpacks and school supplies to kids.
The idea of giving back is clearly ingrained in the KPost culture, evident in their extensive portfolio of charities they work with and the many students they have helped to support on their journey to higher education.
The charity has once more announced that they are awarding scholarships of $1,000 each to eligible employees, spouses, children and grandchildren of roofing contractors. In addition, of the 10 selected scholarships, one candidate will be selected for $5,000 Brent McFarlin Memorial Scholarship.
Applicants must be a high school senior or currently attending a university or trade school. Scholarship money can only be used for post-secondary or trade school certification and recipients may be asked to provide proof of enrollment.
Completed submissions must be sent and received by August 15, 2021.
