Scholarship Announcement & Distribution

Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® will announce scholarship award recipients in April.
In addition to receiving scholarship funds, scholarship recipients will be enrolled in the Public Education Foundation's Gateway Scholars Program. This program provides each recipient with a dedicated College Advancement Mentor (CAM) trained in college and career counseling to provide tailored support for students to ensure they have the information and tools necessary to successfully navigate the challenges of transitioning from high school to, and through, college.
Greater Chattanooga REALTORS® will verify the applicant’s enrollment prior to distribution of scholarship funds.
