Two $5,000.00 scholarships are awarded on behalf of REALTORS® to two graduating high school seniors going on to pursue post-secondary education.
Based on academics, community involvement and a 500-word essay, the awards are presented to the two winners in June at TREB’s annual Civic Connections reception.
This year’s essay topic choices are:
- Quality of Life is an approach that local real estate boards, associations and individual REALTORS® have adopted to demonstrate the commitment of the real estate profession to improve Quality of Life throughout the province of Ontario.
What initiatives would advance the Quality of Life principles by the year 2020? - What impact do you think taxes, such as the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), will have on affordability for the residential or commercial real estate consumer?
The deadline for applications is April 16, 2010.
