The East Texas Builders Association (ETBA) proudly recognized and awarded eleven scholarship recipients at the August 1st dinner at Cassity Jones Building Materials. We appreciate Cassity Jones Building Materials annual sponsorship and hosting of this special dinner.
The 2023/2024 recipients were Delia Fourie, Brenden Robertson, Macy Cobb, Kinsley Rivers, Landon Davis, Jaycie Bradley, Kylie Pepper, Katelyn Jester, Darbi Wyatt, Macy Alston & Mia Traylor.
The ETBA member companies that are represented by each of these recipients are: Austin Bank, Cassity Jones Building Materials, B & L Cabinet and Supply, HFH Construction, R & L Insulating, East Texas Homes, Martin Marietta, Tessa Bradley Custom Homes, National Wholesale Supply, Andrew Traylor Custom Homes and Bockmon Knight & Traylor Insurance.
The James Kilpatrick Scholarship Fund was established in 2002 in memory of Mr. Kilpatrick, a long time builder member of the Association and ETBA President in 1992. The Kilpatrick Scholarship funds are generated through ETBA’s annual Sporting Clays Tournament.
The James Varner Memorial Scholarship was established in 2012 in memory of long time ETBA builder member, James Varner. Chairman Robinson recognized the Varner family members that were present to witness the tenth James Varner Scholarship being awarded. The funds for this scholarship are raised through private donations and only one Varner Scholarship is awarded each year. The recipient is usually pursuing a career in the building industry and the recipient’s name is displayed on a plaque in the Board Room at the ETBA office.
In 2022, a memorial scholarship was established to honor Sam Clark. Mr. Clark was a long-time builder member of the Association and ETBA President in 1999 and 2008. The Sam Clark Scholarship is funded through memorial donations.
The East Texas Builders Association has awarded a total of $198,000 in scholarships since 2002. This would not be possible without each and every partner, supporter and sponsor.
