Six deserving students joined the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board’s (TRREB) growing list of Past President’s Scholarship winners. The winners are all high school students pursuing post-secondary education. Each student was selected based on a compelling essay centred on issues impacting today’s real estate landscape for a chance at two $5,000 first-place awards, two $2,500 second-place awards and two third-place awards for $2,000.
Through their varied academic pursuits, this year’s winners are exploring new ideas and solutions that have the potential to influence how we design, build, and live in our communities.
