CREW Scholarship Reminder - Deadline May 23rd

Message from CREW Regarding their scholarship opportunity posted at http://realestateprogram.blogspot.com/2008/03/crew-scholarship.html

Hi,

I know of you due to Central Texas Chapter AI meetings and thought some of your students might be interested in this scholarship opportunity. I belong to a national organization called CREW, or Career Real Estate Women. Locally, our Fort Worth chapter has over 100 members that are involved in some aspect of real estate, from building, green building, appraising, lending, designing, brokerage, law, title work, etc. The local organization’s website is www.fwcrew.org.

The organization was originally created to support the advancement of women in real estate careers. If you look at http://www.crewcareerzone.org/, you will see that they have started several programs to further this goal. UCREW is a University outreach program. I will be CREW president next year and have thought about having an event that works with University and/or high school students regarding real estate related career paths discussing the good and the bad of them. There are also videos about different career paths, job opportunities, and the scholarship opportunity I previously mentioned.

Nationally, CREW will award up to 10, $10,000 scholarships annually to junior and senior undergraduate female students to cover the costs of tuition and books. The ideal candidate will be a female enrolled as a full-time student at a college or university with an accredited real estate program. Applications will also be considered if the applicant is female and is enrolled full-time at a University that does not have a an accredited real estate program, but where the applicant is enrolled in business, finance, architecture, engineering, or other related field of study and the student’s intention is to pursue a career in commercial real estate. The deadline is May 23rd.

Please feel free to send this to any of your students who you feel may be qualified and/or interested. We’d love to have a local award recipient!

Thanks!
