Congratulations to the 2026 recipients of the ERA Central EDGE Scholarship!

Through their applications, these young people have shown that they embody the same ideals for which our Realtor® professionals are so well known: Ethics, Dedication, Genuineness and an Entrepreneurial spirit.

The scholarship program, which began in 2005, is funded by the Realtor of ERA Central Realty Group and matched by the company. It was founded based on giving back to the community and honoring the families that have supported ERA Central for more than three decades. Since its inception, the EDGE Scholarship has awarded $90,000 in scholarships.

Through their inspiring applications, these exceptional young people have proven that they share the very same values our ERA Central Realtors® are known for: unwavering ethics, genuine dedication, and an entrepreneurial drive to make a difference.

Established in 2005, the EDGE Scholarship program is a true testament to our belief in giving back. Funded by the committed Realtors® of ERA Central Realty Group and matched by the company, this program honors the families who have supported us for more than thirty years. Since its beginning, the EDGE Scholarship has proudly awarded over $85,000 to deserving local students.
