Real Estate Apprentice® Selects Rookies for $125,000 Grant

The names, photos, biographies, and essays of the top 30 applicants for Season III have now been sent to a panel of 14 independent judges.

These real estate industry luminaries will review the applications and make their final decision public within two to three weeks.

According to Dr. Martin Oliver, deputy executive director of The Foundation, culling the group down to 30 semifinalists from thousands of applications was a difficult and challenging assignment.

“We had a marvelous applicant outpouring representing super talented men and women. We only wish that we had the ability to make everyone a finalist,” he said.

The Foundation judges must now decide who is likely to achieve the most immediate success based on the granting of $125,000 in real estate education products and services. All Real Estate Apprentice Grants are free and require no payback or application fee. Applications are evaluated on the basis of answers to essay questions that demonstrate salesmanship, communication skills, entrepreneurial spirit, integrity, creativity and uniqueness.
