Thank you for your interest in the Contra Costa Association of Realtors® Scholarship Foundation (CCARSF) Program. Our goal is to support the local student community in becoming tomorrow’s leaders. The program is open to all high school seniors, trade school and college students who meet the stated Eligibility criteria. Award recipients must demonstrate excellence in leadership, academic or work achievements, community involvement and potential for future success.
It is very important to treat the application like a job interview, utilizing proper grammar and punctuation. In addition to completing the application, you’ll also need to submit a personal essay, including leadership examples and career plans. Three (3) letters of recommendation are also required, including two from academic references and one from a non-academic reference. We strongly encourage that you follow up with your references as any letters not received by the deadline will result in disqualification. All reference letters must be on school or company letterhead, signed and dated, and addressed specifically to this CCARSF scholarship opportunity.
Completed scholarship applications and supporting documentation must be submitted electronically and received by 11:59pm Pacific Time on March 31. The Scholarship Committee will review your application after the scholarship window closes. Scholarship winners will be notified in May, awards will be presented at our June Awards Luncheon and scholarship funds will be distributed directly to your educational institution in early August.
Thank you, again, for taking the time and effort to apply for this scholarship!
