2025 Scholarship Application

As a firm believer that investment in personal and professional development is an integral part of the recipe for success, I am so deeply honored and grateful to be a 2023 CID Scholarship recipient. Not only did the scholarship lessen my financial burden while in pursuit of my CCIM designation, but it was a contribution to the investment in my future.

Jolandra Cole McNeil, 2023 Scholarship recipient

Applying for the CID scholarship was one of the best self-investment decisions I ever made. Receiving the CID scholarship allowed me to complete my CCIM certification within two years. If you are a Commercial Real Estate Agent looking to further your education there is no reason not to apply. The result could be life-changing!

    The scholarship award helped me take the initial steps towards becoming a full-time commercial real estate broker by joining Urban Land Institute Louisiana and CCIM. The skills, resources, and experience I've gained this year have been invaluable in helping me to do what I love, which is creating equity in my community and providing access to a sustainable livelihood.
