 It is an honor and privilege to return to RAMP on the heels of a milestone year. As RAMP moves into its 2nd Century, my goal is to work with our leadership to keep REALTORS® at the heart of the transaction.

The purpose of the Education Grant Program is to foster professional development within the real estate industry and, in so doing, benefit the consumer. The RAMP Foundation does this by offering grants to help defray the cost of courses approved for a broker license and REALTOR® designation courses. These are reimbursement grants and are paid once the courses are completed. Since 2006, the RAMP Foundation has awarded 60 grants.
The Education Grant Program was revised in 2010 for the 2011 grant program, so that the grant year coincides with the calendar year. Grant recipients were selected before the grant year began to give recipients the full calendar year to select suitable course offerings and complete the coursework. Reimbursements will be paid during 2012 as grant recipients submit evidence of expenditures and completion of the courses. The grant year ends with the calendar year, which means that all grant requirements must be fulfilled by year-end.
