 Alan and Kathy Johns Scholarship Fund

Kathy and Alan Johns

Lifelong residents of Mt. Pleasant, Alan and Kathy Johns have strong ties to the community. They have served on numerous committees that support local organizations in Isabella County, and raised three children who attended Mt. Pleasant Public Schools.

Alan and Kathy have a passion for real estate and have owned and developed many income producing properties. They have seen how an educational scholarship can benefit students wishing to pursue higher education and believe that providing a scholarship at the Mt. Pleasant Area Community Foundation will help support the community that they cherish. They established the Alan and Kathy Johns Scholarship Fund to help local students that are interested in real estate so that they may have a positive experience and become well-educated and active in real estate.
