RentHop Scholarship

The RentHop Apartment Scholarship awards up to $2,000 a year to eligible undergraduate students in bachelor's and associate's degree programs in the US who demonstrate the ambition, diligence, leadership, and entrepreneurial spirit that is central to our company culture.

Apartment hunting can be overwhelming, often compared to a marathon and a sprint at the same time. A successful transaction will require the stamina and endurance to visit possibly dozens of addresses and listings to find the perfect home, while also requiring enough decisiveness and organization to quickly secure a discovered rare gem before losing it to the competition. We have built a platform and service that modernizes many aspects of real estate transactions, beginning with the home search.

To apply, submit an essay under 500 words that concisely answers the question:

Imagine yourself 10 years in the future after having graduated college and living the life of your dreams: find a listing on RentHop you picture yourself living in and write how it contributes to your ideal day. Please provide a link to the listing. Finalists may have an opportunity to be featured on our blog.
