THE OPPORTUNITY

Philadelphia Real Estate Council is excited to introduce the 2017 Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Fellowships. These fellowships offer an exciting opportunity for students of real estate and related fields to explore an area of interest within the real estate market of the Mid-Atlantic region, publish their research through the Philadelphia Real Estate Council, and get paid for their work!

We are seeking students of real estate and related fields to apply for this fellowship by submitting a brief proposal (2-3 pages) for a subject of study, including why the student thinks this topic is important and a tentative research plan.

The students selected for a Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Fellowship will work directly with PREC’s Director of Research to conduct a thorough study of this area of inquiry, then write a professional-quality, thoroughly researched and documented white paper addressing a challenge and proposing a solution.

The opportunity to incorporate this research into an independent study with a member of the program’s faculty is available at the discretion of the student’s program.

This is an extremely valuable opportunity for a student to research a real estate subject of interest, write and publish a high-quality article based on this research, and receive financial compensation for her/his work. We encourage you to submit an application and research proposal for the 2016 Mid-Atlantic Real Estate Fellowship.
