TREB's Past President's Scholarship Program, now in its tenth year, expanded in 2012 to offer two additional scholarships. Two $5,000 first place scholarships and two $2,500 second place scholarships are awarded annually on behalf of REALTORS® to four graduating high school seniors pursuing post-secondary education (e.g., university, college, trade school, etc.).
Early this year, applications were distributed to nearly 300 public and Catholic secondary schools in the GTA, as well as posted on Stratus, TREBhome.com, TREB social media websites, and scholarshipscanada.com.
A record of academic achievement and a range of leadership qualities and community involvement are required for application; however, judging is based on a 1000-word (or less) essay.
We offer the winners our congratulations and best wishes for their future studies.
The first place winners are Jingyuan Helen Feng and Mansi Sheth.
The second place winners are Janet Wang and Tiffany Bouchard.
We thank all scholarship applicants for their submissions and wish them much success in their future endeavours.
