NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, has announced six recipients of its annual Diversity Student Scholarship. The scholarship program supports students who are pursuing a degree in commercial real estate and is a key component of the association’s pledge to advance diversity in the industry.

“Congratulations to all the remarkable scholarship winners! We are pleased to recognize them for their academic excellence and dedication to a career in commercial real estate,” said Marc Selvitelli, CAE, NAIOP president and CEO. “By investing in their futures, NAIOP continues to champion a more diverse and inclusive industry – a critical part of our strategic plan. We look forward to seeing what’s next for their careers.”

NAIOP has awarded four $5,000 graduate student scholarships and two $2,500 undergraduate student scholarships to individuals from demographics that are traditionally underrepresented in commercial real estate and whose universities are part of the NAIOP University Membership program.

In addition to the scholarship, each scholarship recipient will have the opportunity to make new professional connections and sharpen their commercial real estate acumen with complimentary registration to attend NAIOP’s CRE.Converge 2024, Oct. 8-10, in Las Vegas.
