WELCOME TO THE CCIM FOUNDATION

As part of our ongoing efforts to promote DEI in the industry, the new CCIM Foundation Diversity Scholarship Program helps foster an inclusive commercial real estate professional community.

Up to 25 scholarships will be awarded annually to qualifying applicants to pay for CCIM designation course fees (and travel and accommodations upon request). These scholarships, working in tandem with CCIM Institute’s Cultural Diversity Education Program, help jump-start and transform the qualifying individuals’ commercial real estate careers by funding their path to the CCIM pin, the gold standard in commercial real estate designations.

Applications for 2022 are now open. The deadline to apply is Sept. 30. Recipients will be announced in November.

The CCIM Foundation is proud to announce the eight recipients of its 2022 Veterans Scholarship Program. Established in 2020, the Veterans Scholarship Program gives back to the brave men and women who have served the United States by offering educational funding to pursue a new career in the dynamic commercial real estate industry. Each recipient receives up to $20,000 to use for commercial real estate education and certification programs through National Association of REALTORS® affiliate organizations, including CCIM Institute, IREM, and SIOR. Each recipient below has chosen to pursue the CCIM designation with their scholarship.
