Opportunity Scholarship Program

Expanding Access to Careers in Commercial Real Estate

The CCIM Institute Foundation Opportunity Scholarship Program helps foster an inclusive commercial real estate professional community. These scholarships help jump-start and transform the commercial real estate careers of qualifying individuals by funding their path to the CCIM Pin, the gold standard in commercial real estate designations. A limited number are awarded annually to qualifying applicants to use for Designation course enrollment and fees.  

Why pursue a career in commercial real estate? 

Commercial real estate is a dynamic 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.
