Preferred Realty adds four $1,500 teacher grants to scholarships
WEXFORD — November 13, 2026 -- Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices The Preferred Realty has committed $18,000 to seven education awards for the 2026–2027 cycle. The package adds four teacher grants of up to $1,500 each to the brokerage's Dream, Innovate, Grow scholarship program, run in partnership with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Stouffer Realty.
The money covers 32 counties, 16 in Western Pennsylvania and 16 in Eastern Ohio. That works out to about $563 per county.
Teacher grants account for one-third of the $18,000 commitment
The four Innovative Teaching Grants total $6,000 at the full $1,500 level, or one-third of the budget. The three student scholarships of $4,000 each make up the other $12,000, or two-thirds. The release describes the grants both as "$1,500" and as "up to $1,500", so $6,000 is a ceiling, not a guaranteed spend.
