Florida Realtors Foundation Wants to Help State Residents Pay for College

Maybe you’re a senior in high school looking forward to graduating and starting your freshman year of college. Maybe you’re already pursuing your degree. Or maybe you’re considering a graduate program.

Three different scenarios, but one question is the same: How am I going to pay for this?

For those of you who are Florida residents and find yourself asking this question, let us give you the opportunity to alleviate some of that financial burden.

The Florida Realtors Education Foundation is accepting scholarship applications for both future and current students who live in Florida. Over the past nine years, the not-for-profit corporation has awarded over $1.3 million in scholarships.

Scholarships start at $1,000 and can be used during the 2018-19 school year to cover educational expenses like tuition, books, or room and board. Applicants will be judged on criteria such as academic achievements, financial need, community involvement, leadership qualities and whether they have a family member who is a Realtor or affiliated with the Realtor Association.
