Deciding to go to college, much like deciding to purchase a home, is a huge life decision that often depends heavily on finances. At Redfin, we think everyone deserves the chance at a higher education, and we want to help unload some of that financial burden. We are excited to announce our first-ever scholarship program! We’ll be offering one high school senior or current college student a $2,500 scholarship.
How to Apply
To enter, write an 800-word essay answering the following prompt, and submit it here. The chosen student will be notified by March 31, 2017.
Prompt: When the population of a city grows, people with lower incomes are often forced to move to more affordable areas outside of the city. Many initiatives have been proposed or implemented to keep affordable housing within city limits. Identify one such initiative and discuss its pros and cons.
