Florida Realtors® Scholarship/Essay Contest
Since 1999, Florida Realtors® has sponsored the Scholarship/Essay Contest for High School Seniors who reside in Florida. Seniors who plan on continuing their education at a college, university, technical school or some other institution of higher learning are eligible. Children of licensed real estate practitioners are not eligible, nor are children whose parents or guardians are employed by any local Realtor board/associations or by Florida Realtors.
Students turning in the first-place winning entry in each of Florida Realtors® 13 Regional Districts will receive a $1,000 scholarship award. The 13 student winners will go on to compete to win three $5,000 scholarships on a state level, giving each of the state grand prize winners a total of $6,000 in scholarship funding. Florida Realtors® will award a total of $28,000 in scholarship funding this year to help young people realize their college dreams.
Each year, Florida Realtors® sends copies of the scholarship/essay contest application kit and other materials to senior high schools' guidance offices throughout Florida.
