Over $50,000 in Scholarships Awarded to Students

Trenton, N.J. (June 8, 2018) — More than $50,000 in scholarships was distributed to 45 deserving students from the New Jersey Realtors Educational Foundation this past week. The foundation hosted a reception for students, families, donors, and trustees on June 5 at their headquarters in Trenton, where 45 students received a total of $50,500 in scholarships.

Criteria for selection include academic achievements, financial need, interest in real estate endeavors, and contributions to family, school and communities. Eligible students must be a member—or a relative of a member—of New Jersey Realtors or a local state association/board staff member who resides in New Jersey and must be entering or currently enrolled to pursue a college or university degree in an undergraduate program.

“Each year we are thrilled to be able to present so many impressive students with financial assistance to help them conquer the rising costs of higher education,” said Drew Fishman, 2018 president of the foundation. “The students astonish us year-after-year with their accomplishments and dedication.”

Many of the scholarships are given in memory or honor of an individual. If you’re interested in donating or creating a new scholarship, visit njrealtorsef.com/donations.
