With over 14 million jobs predicted to disappear world-wide in the next 5 years, The Alexander Anderson Center for Real Estate Education (recareercenter.com) is dedicated to seeing high school seniors join the workforce in a vibrant, professional industry - Real Estate! CFREE is offering 100 scholarships to graduating New Jersey high school seniors to take the 75-Hour New Jersey State Pre-Licensing Course to become a licensed real estate agent.

Students from each New Jersey county will be chosen to receive full scholarships valued at over $1000 each. Additional partial scholarships will be offered to remaining applicants. Scholarships will include the required live-online course needed to qualify for the New Jersey State Real Estate Exam and a variety of professional development courses, investment courses, and study aids.

For a recent high school graduate a career in real estate may be just what they need to enter the workforce. Real estate may be full or part-time and can be pursued while earning a 4-year degree, only requires an additional 75-hours of industry specific education (in as little as 2-weeks), has flexible work hours, and a high income potential. For some young adults this career opportunity may become their passion - or just a great way to earn income and professional experience right out of high school.
