Bolst Scholars Program

About Bolst: Finding the right real estate brokerage to build your career is one of the most important decisions you will make. Bolst is doing real estate differently. We are the only real estate broker that is in business to elevate life and advance communities. Our team’s common heartbeat of generosity, integrity, and the pursuit of excellence sets us apart.

About the Role: Fewer than 6% of all real estate professionals are Black according to the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau. That's why we've created the Bolst Scholars' Program.

This program is a comprehensive program designed to fill the gap and provide Black and African American participants with the support needed to become successful real estate agents. This program covers the cost of licensure and training courses, Realtor dues and the required post licensing education. It will also provide necessary technology, a marketing and lead budget, practical training, business education and a real estate mentor. You'll have access to special events, additional training, teachers and so much more. We will teach you and give you all the tools, but it is up to YOU to put in the work to be successful. Applications will close August 31st and Scholars will be picked by September 29th.
