Like a scene out of The Christmas Carol, The American School of Real Estate Express, known online as RealEstateExpress.com, has decided to give a leg up to those out of work during this tough time.

With no strings attached, the school is giving away full-ride scholarships to the first 100 unemployed individuals who want to pursue a career in real estate.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- In the "feel good" story of the year, a prominent online career education company is challenging businesses of all sizes, in all industries, as John Kennedy did 50 years ago, to "ask not what your country can do for you - ask what you can do for your country."

The owners of the company indicated they grew so tired of hearing negative news about the economy and the state of unemployment, that they decided to take matters into their own hands. David Goldstein, one of RealEstateExpress' co-founders and Chief Technology Officer advises, "Before the end of this year, RealEstateExpress plans to take 100 people from the rolls of the unemployed and re-engage them as productive members of the work force."

Adds Geoff Thompson, another of RealEstateExpress' co-founders and Chief Marketing Officer, "During this difficult time for our country, we intend to lead by example and we challenge other companies to do their part."

The United States has a long tradition of seeing small business as the driving force behind our Nation's prosperity. With more companies taking an active role like RealEstateExpress has, we can expect our recovery from this recession to come sooner rather than later.
