The REMAX Quest for Excellence scholarship program is a cash scholarship that recognizes students for their ongoing community contributions and pursuit of leadership. Through this scholarship program, REMAX Canada is pleased to offer 40 scholarships of $1,000 each to students across Canada (except for Quebec).

The 2026 Quest for Excellence program will invite eligible students to write and submit an essay based on one of three key themes: charitable community contribution; the vision for a brighter future; and ensuring Canadians have a safe, secure and affordable place to call “home.”

At REMAX Canada, we understand the importance of supporting the communities where we live and work,” says Don Kottick, President of REMAX Canada. “Through initiatives like the Quest for Excellence, we aim to not just help students achieve their educational goals, but to also inspire a culture of giving back. These programs serve as a beacon, illuminating future leaders within our communities.”

The 2026 Quest for Excellence scholarship program is about more than just providing financial assistance; it’s about recognizing students who are dedicated to their communities and driven by a passion for leadership. We look forward to receiving more powerful stories and ideas shared by students who are striving for a better future.”

The 2026 Quest for Excellence Scholarship Program is now open for submissions until March 6th 2026.
