In keeping with our educational mission, the Pension Real Estate Association awards scholarships on an annual basis to promising students studying real estate at the undergraduate and graduate levels. The scholarships, awarded by PREA since 1994, are offered each year for full-time study in real estate at an accredited institution of the student’s choice. Financial need will be considered in determining the amount of each award. Potential recipients who demonstrate no need will be eligible to receive the minimum award.
The program is administered by Scholarship America®, the nation’s largest designer and manager of scholarships and other education support programs for corporations, foundations, associations, and individuals. Eligibility for individual programs is determined at the sole discretion of the sponsor, and eligible applications are reviewed by Scholarship America’s evaluation team. Awards for this scholarship are granted to eligible recipients without regard to race, creed, religion, sexual orientation, age, disability, or national origin.
Applicants to the PREA Scholarship Program must be:
Awards are for undergraduate and graduate study and are one time only.
Applicants will be notified in July. Not all applicants to the program will be selected as recipients. Students not receiving a scholarship may reapply to the program each year they meet eligibility requirements.
Scholarship America processes scholarship payments on behalf of PREA. The payment is made in one installment in August.
Once scholarship recipients are selected, financial data is reviewed to determine the amount of each award, ranging from $500 to $5,000. Potential recipients who demonstrate no need will be eligible to receive an award at the minimum amount.
Applicant essays will be evaluated by a PREA committee with results submitted to Scholarship America. Final selection of recipients is made by Scholarship America. All applicants agree to accept the decisions of PREA and Scholarship America as final.
Forecasts indicate the possibility of a decline in property values in 2023. Discuss which types of property will likely be the hardest hit, and which types are best positioned to avoid losing value or may even gain value though the year.
One online recommendation form must be submitted on your behalf no later than April 18, 2023 3:00 pm Central Time.
Your application is not complete unless all required documents are submitted electronically through the Scholarship America Student Hub.
