EDGE Scholarship for Local Students

More than $85,000 awarded to local students since 2005.

ERA Central Realty Group is more than just a real estate company; we are a part of your community. We understand that families need to be nurtured and supported as they grow, and we take pride in being there for you every step of the way. That’s why we are excited to offer the EDGE Scholarship program to college-bound students in New Jersey.

The EDGE Scholarship is our way of honoring our community and the families who have supported us over the last two decades. This program provides multiple scholarships annually to support undergraduate education at an accredited school. We are looking for students who have the EDGE – those who are Ethical, Dedicated, Genuine, and Entrepreneurial – reflecting the same ideals for which our REALTOR® professionals are well known.

To be eligible for the scholarship program for the 2024-2025 academic year, college-bound students from New Jersey must apply during their senior year and have a minimum GPA of 2.5. Home-schooled students are also eligible and are encouraged to apply. The scholarships will be awarded to students who have demonstrated ethical, forward-thinking, results-oriented life and work habits and who take a proactive approach to their own life and life in their communities. Applicants must be planning to pursue a bachelor’s degree.  Children of ERA Central Realty Group associates are not eligible to apply.
