Minority Real Estate Scholarships

The following real estate scholarships are aimed at specific minority groups. They are for women, members of racial minorities, members of the LGBT community, people with disabilities, and more. Pursuing real estate education and licensure may be more challenging for members of these groups who face systemic barriers to their participation in higher education. These barriers may include poverty, discrimination, increased familial responsibilities, accessibility needs, and more. These scholarships aim to give members of marginalized communities more opportunities to pursue their education so that they can one day give back to their communities and participate in housing initiatives and real estate businesses. The scholarships on this list are primarily available at the national level, but a few are specific to particular states or cities.
