A new scholarship initiative launched by Propertymark at the beginning of 2025 under the title ‘The class of 25’ has been deemed a huge success.

Applications for the 2025 scholarship intake are now closed and, following interviews, applicants are this week being notified as to whether they have been successful.

A strictly limited number of scholarships for between 25% and 100% of the costs of learning materials, Propertymark membership and examination fees were made available and potential scholars invited to apply for funding by completing a straightforward application form which included a requirement to state why they want to obtain the Level 3 qualification in either sales, lettings or property management.

Chair of the Education and Applications Group at the Propertymark Trust, Michael Day, says:  “As expected this has proven to be a fantastic initiative that will now provide a number of individuals with a route into qualifications that, in turn, will help underpin their future careers. We received a very healthy number of applications for scholarships and the Trustees have now selected those who were successful as part of the initial 2025 intake.”

Scholarships of up to 100% were available although many applicants are offering to contribute some of the costs themselves or via their employers with matched funding being provided by the Trust.

Another scholarship intake is likely this autumn.
