Texas REALTORS® Staff Development Grant Program

A reminder to invest in your professional growth 

Texas REALTORS® supports and encourages continuous learning to help staff meet their career goals while strengthening the collective skill set of our organization. Through the Texas REALTORS® Staff Development Grant Program, eligible employees may apply for up to $1,000 per year in reimbursement for qualifying, self-directed professional development opportunities. 

This program allows you to choose learning experiences that expand your skills, build expertise or support certification goals provided the activity offers a mutual benefit to you and the association. 

Important reminder: If you would like to be reimbursed through the Staff Development Grant Program, you must complete the Grant application and receive pre-approval before submitting applications for other programs or enrolling in courses. Grants may be pre-approved for up to $1,000 and can include application fees and other eligible expenses. Reimbursement occurs after successful completion of the program and submission of required documentation. 

Quick highlights: 

• Up to $1,000 per calendar year (first come, first served) 

• Open to eligible staff with 6 months of tenure 

• Supervisor and VP/COO approval required 

• Reimbursement is issued after completion 

• Designed for self-directed professional development (not REALTOR® organization–hosted programs) 

If you’re considering a course, certification, or learning opportunity, this program is a great place to start.
