Rather than taking a traditional
scholarship approach, the Wisconsin REALTORSŪ 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 Equal Opportunity in Housing Committee.
For more information, contact
Debbi Conrad or
Debbie McNelly at the WRA.
