About the Fund

The REALTORS® Association Scholarship Fund, founded in 1973, provides scholarship awards to students deemed worthy and qualified by the Board of Trustees. The purpose of the Scholarship Fund is to encourage local high school seniors to continue their formal education at Michigan colleges, universities and other institutions of higher learning, and earning a degree, diploma or certificate.

Scholarship awards are based on scholastic record, character and leadership, school activities, community and church service, work record and financial need. Each applicant must be a Michigan resident and a graduating senior from a high school within the Fund’s jurisdiction.

Contributions are solicited from members of the real estate community, individual members of the Greater Metropolitan Association of REALTORS® (GMAR) and affiliated companies and corporations. Awards are made from the annual income of the Fund only. Since 1983, more than 970 scholarships have been awarded by the Trustees.
