Guilford, CT The Connecticut Chapter of CCIM has awarded three scholarships to real estate professionals across the state.
Chevon Schand of KW Legacy Partners was recently awarded the Stan Gniazdowski/Carl Russell Endowed Scholarship. This annual scholarship can be applied to any of CCIM’s 101 – 104 core classes. The Connecticut CCIM Chapter grants scholarships to deserving students and real estate professionals who demonstrate commitment to the commercial real estate profession. Recipients exemplify the high caliber of professionals that comprise the CCIM Institute.
In addition, this year the chapter decided to fund two brand new Foundations Scholarships. These apply to the tuition of CCIM’s Foundations for Success in Commercial Real Estate, a class that provides agents, brokers, students, and allied professionals with an understanding of the skills, resources, and business practices that pave the way for success in commercial real estate. Jameka Jefferies of Diamond Realty Partners and Matt Renzulli of Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT were awarded the two inaugural Foundations Scholarships.
“We look forward to supporting their journey to ‘The Pin’,” said Stephanie Coleman, CCIM of JLL. The Connecticut Chapter awards several scholarships each year to real estate professionals. Please see www.ctccim.com for information on how and when to apply.
