Kumo Title × SOAR Skills
Building tomorrow’s closings. Opening tomorrow’s opportunities.
The family behind Kumo Title, through Kumo Property Group, LLC, is committed to funding SOAR Skills scholarships every year—helping the next generation pursue skilled trades, technical training, certifications, and career-ready expertise.
Why Kumo invests
The future is built by people who know how to make things work.
Every home, office, development, and closing depends on skilled people—electricians, technicians, builders, healthcare professionals, mechanics, operators, and problem-solvers whose expertise keeps communities moving.
Kumo Title sees scholarship funding as an extension of our responsibility to the places we serve. By helping motivated students gain practical, high-demand skills, we invest in stronger families, more capable local businesses, and a deeper workforce for Austin and Texas.
An annual promise
Kumo Title will fund SOAR Skills scholarships each year.
Our commitment is ongoing, not a one-time campaign. Scholarship awards are administered through SOAR’s established program and official application process.
