Carolinas HOA Management Company Honors Three Students with 2026 College Scholarships
GREENSBORO, N.C., Aug. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Three high-achieving students have been awarded $1,000 scholarships from Association Management Group (AMG), one of the Carolinas' most respected professional homeowner association managers, representing more than 30,000 property owners. The seventh annual scholarship program celebrates the lives and legacies of outstanding AMG colleagues by awarding education funds to superior scholars with a passion for building healthy, strong communities.
The AMG College Scholarship Program awards $1,000 scholarships each year to students connected to AMG-managed communities across North and South Carolina.
Open to the families of residents and vendors of AMG-managed properties, as well as company employees, the AMG College Scholarship Program chose the recipients based on short videos the students produced explaining what community means to them. "We are proud to honor this year's exceptional winners, because they deeply connect with what is at the heart of our mission as an organization—bringing out the best in communities," said AMG Vice President and Scholarship Program Chair May Gayle Mengert. "Our goal is simple: We are here to help homeowner association boards create a true sense of home for their neighbors. We accomplish our purpose by helping those steadfast volunteers accomplish their purpose: We provide easy-to-use tools, smart technologies, and practical strategies to help them keep their neighborhoods safe, attractive, and harmonious. AMG is inspired and reassured by the unique insights on the power and value of community these outstanding students shared with us."
