Investing in educational opportunities for Calgary's students

By CREB®
CREB® and the CREB® REALTOR® Community Foundation want to help support the next generation of community leaders and real estate professionals through a range of post-secondary scholarships and endowment funds. 

CREB® recognizes the importance post-secondary education can have on someone’s future, but also the financial stress it can have on a student. As part of the 2023/2024 academic year, CREB® and the CREB® REALTOR® Community Foundation donated $35,000 to students pursuing post-secondary education in Calgary.

“Thank you so much for your incredible generosity! It is a privilege and joy to have been chosen for this. This means the world to me as it not only acknowledges my dedication to my education, but also provides me with the means to continue learning and growing as a Haskayne student,” said Faliha Panjwani, CREB® Undergraduate Scholarship in Real Estate recipient.

“Your unwavering support of Haskayne students is genuinely transformative, and I am immensely thankful for the opportunities you are providing.”

Scholarships are offered at both Mount Royal University (MRU) and University of Calgary (UofC) for students pursuing business degree programs.

These scholarships are offered each school year and students can receive up to $5,000.

  • CREB® Undergraduate Scholarship in Real Estate - UofC
  • George Loades Memorial Scholarship in Real Estate - UofC
  • Calgary Real Estate Board/W. Frank Johns Memorial Scholarship Endowment Fund - MRU

"I am beyond thankful to have received the George Loades Memorial Scholarship in Real Estate Studies. This award has immensely benefited my current studies as I pursue my degree in finance. My interests stem well beyond the financial roles, where I am currently interested in commercial real estate opportunities post-graduation,” said Justin Clements, George Loades Memorial Scholarship in Real Estate Studies recipient.

“Through this award, I was able to ease my financial strain in my last semester, allowing me to concentrate on finishing my degree.”
