California REALTORS® award more than $26,000 in scholarships
LOS ANGELES (July 19) – The CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS® (C.A.R.) Scholarship Foundation recently awarded 11 California college students with scholarships, ranging from $2,000 to $4,000, for a total of $26,550. The C.A.R. Scholarship Foundation provides awards up to $4,000 to students enrolled at a California college or university pursuing degrees centered on, or supporting, a career in the real estate industry.

Scholarship recipients include:
Students may be eligible to apply for a scholarship award if they are currently enrolled in a two- or four-year college in California and are pursuing a degree for professions which are centered on, or support a career in real estate transactional activity such as Real Estate Brokerage, Real Estate Finance, Real Estate Management, Real Estate Development, Real Estate Appraisal, Real Estate Planning, Real Estate Law, Commercial Real Estate, and other fields of study the Trustees believe worthy of consideration.
