The CCIM Foundation Diversity Scholarship Program is designed to advance the professional growth of underrepresented groups in the commercial real estate industry with funding for real-world education and a foundation for a new career in commercial real estate.
Commercial real estate is an exciting, ever-evolving field, where determination and self-discipline are crucial tools for success. Individuals can pursue careers in brokerage, investment, facilities management, development, and more, in sectors ranging from million-square-foot industrial spaces and office buildings to small apartment complexes and mom-and-pop retail stores. Commercial real estate professionals create and shape the places where we live, work, and play, and they play a key role in building healthy and sustainable communities across the globe.
To be eligible to apply for the scholarship, you must meet all the following criteria:
