Saddle Brook, NJ – July 13, 2026 – The REALTORS® Care Foundation (RCF), in partnership with the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service, Inc. (NJMLS) proudly awarded more than $36,000 in scholarships to 52 graduating high school seniors, one from each of Bergen County's public high schools, to help support their pursuit of higher education.
The REALTORS® Care Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization of Greater Bergen REALTORS®, provides grants and scholarships that strengthen local communities through the generosity of GBR REALTOR® members, affiliate members, and the continued financial support of the New Jersey Multiple Listing Service. Scholarship funds are raised through RCF fundraising events held throughout the year, including the REALTORS® Care Foundation Golf & Tennis/Pickleball Event taking place at the Montammy Country Club, Alpine, New Jersey on Monday, September 28, 2026. Proceeds from the event will support next year's scholarships and nonprofit grants. For more information, visit www.gbrcarefoundation.org.
Throughout the spring, REALTORS® Care Foundation Trustees visited each of the 52 participating high schools to present scholarship awards during graduation ceremonies.
