Undergraduate real estate students have multiple opportunities for scholarships:

International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) Foundation – Undergraduate Real Estate Award

The ICSC Foundation is proud to announce the Undergraduate Real Estate Award Program. The award program, established in 2009, will annually provide 25 $2,000.00 awards to a junior or senior enrolled in a collegiate undergraduate real estate program that demonstrates exceptional potential for a career within the retail real estate sector.

The program has two primary objectives: First, to help familiarize universities offering real estate as an undergraduate major with ICSC. And second, to build and strengthen relationships between the undergraduate real estate program and ICSC, as well as the ICSC Foundation.

This award is to be used for student tuition and related expenses. In addition, the recipient will also receive a free ICSC student membership for one year and other benefits geared to enhance their academic path.

The schools are selected on criterion such as number of ICSC student members, academic ranking, strength of the real estate program, industry involvement, faculty investment, real estate clubs, and conference participation.

Students are chosen by the dean of their respective program based on overall academic and extracurricular involvement.

Any information regarding the ICSC Foundation’s $5,000 undergraduate and $10,000 graduate scholarships is available at http://www.icsc.org/foundation/scholarships/academic-scholarships.
