Professional real estate industry mentors
Paid week-long internship with partner firms
Case study competition with financial prize
$5,000 college scholarship upon high school graduation and acceptance to an accredited college or university
One-year program to

Ancillary workshops during senior year including college essay writing, financial literacy, public speaking and business etiquette
Raising Expectations Partnership
Stockbridge has developed a strategic partnership with Raising Expectations (RE) to recruit and identify participants for REEP. RE was established in 1995 to provide youth living in Atlanta’s most economically and socially challenged communities with high-quality youth development programs.
RE’s mission is to empower youth in crises by elevating academic, social, and civic expectations to facilitate high school graduation and post-secondary plans. RE has served more than 2,700 children for more than 25 years.
