WRA's Partnership for Success Program
Rather than taking a traditional scholarship approach, the Wisconsin REALTORS® Association's Partnership for Success Program forges a partnership between the applicant, the sponsoring broker, the local or regional association, and the WRA. In this program, applicants must be of a minority race, color or national origin, and must demonstrate a commitment to becoming successful real estate licensees. The sponsoring broker provides a mentor and in-house training for the program recipient to optimize the success of the new licensee.
The WRA waives one year of WRA dues, the local association (if participating in the program) waives any initiation fee and one year of dues, and the WRA pays one year of NAR dues. The WRA also pays six months of MLS fees. In addition, the program offers a variety of educational opportunities and start-up assistance features. The fees paid by the WRA must be repaid to the program within three years so that awards may be made to additional deserving recipients.
How to Apply
To apply for this award, both the candidate and the sponsoring broker must complete applications. Both the candidate and the sponsoring broker also will be required to attend an interview with the WRA Cultural Diversity in Housing Committee. For more information, contact Debbi Conrad or Debbie McNelly at the WRA.
