How SIOR Chapters Can Access Matching Scholarship Funds

Empowering the next generation of commercial real estate (CRE) professionals starts at the local level. Through the SIOR Foundation’s Chapter Matching Scholarship Program, SIOR chapters can access funds that double their impact – supporting students, universities, and future leaders in industrial and office real estate.

What the Program Offers

The Chapter Matching Scholarship Program provides up to $10,000 per chapter (split between two or more universities) to award undergraduate or graduate scholarships in real estate, business, finance, or related fields. These matching funds help local chapters strengthen community ties, promote industry education, and showcase SIOR’s commitment to professional development.

How Chapters Can Apply

Partner with a university that offers a real estate or business program.
Design a scholarship program that aligns with SIOR Foundation’s mission to educate, enhance, and expand the CRE industry.
Submit a grant application through the Foundation’s official site, outlining the scholarship purpose, criteria, and matching contribution from the chapter.
Once approved, chapters receive matching funds to award directly to qualified students.

Why It Matters

By leveraging the Foundation’s matching program, SIOR chapters help nurture future leaders while strengthening their own local networks. These scholarships not only fund education – they connect students to mentorship, career pathways, and the global SIOR community.
