Convention Scholarship and Mentor Program

The 2024 application cycle has closed. The 2025 application cycle will open in April 2025.

The NC REALTORS® Convention Scholarship and Mentor Program was designed to help those new to the industry—or just new to the NC REALTORS®’ annual convention—get involved and make the most of their convention experience with the help of an experienced mentor. The NC REALTORS® Convention and Expo will be hosted at Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort, in Cherokee, NC on October 20-22, 2025.

Convention Scholarship

These scholarships cover the cost of a registration fee and hotel accommodations at the host hotel for the evenings of Monday, October 20 and Tuesday, October 21, 2025. Transportation, food and entry to special events outside the convention schedule are not included. If you would like to be considered for a scholarship, please submit an application by May 30, 2025. Twenty scholarships are available and the winners will be selected by the Convention Committee and notified by June 15, 2025.

Mentor Program

Each scholarship recipient will be assigned a mentor to help navigate and network at convention. Mentors are qualified leaders at the state level who have previously attended NC REALTORS®’ annual conventions and are looking to invest in the next generation of NC REALTORS®. The Convention Committee will select twenty mentors based off responses given on the application, and pair them with scholarship winners. Mentors will also be recognized at convention. If you would like to serve as a mentor, please submit an application by May 30, 2025.
