CREDA and Prologis Support Rising CRE Leaders Through Inclusion in CRE Scholarship for Students

June 04, 2026 | Herndon, Virginia

Six individuals have been announced as the recipients of the annual CREDA and Prologis Inclusion in CRE Scholarship for Students. The scholarship program supports students who are pursuing a degree in commercial real estate.

CREDA and Prologis are awarding 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 CREDA 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 CREDA’s Fall Conference, Oct. 5-7, in Denver.

"We are proud to recognize these outstanding scholarship recipients whose talent, dedication and potential represent the future of commercial real estate,” said Marc Selvitelli, CAE, CREDA president and CEO. “By supporting students from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds, we are investing not only in individual achievement, but also in a stronger, more innovative and more inclusive future for our field."

“Building a stronger commercial real estate industry starts with expanding access to opportunity,” said Kim Snyder, executive director at Prologis and past CREDA chair. “Through our continued partnership with CREDA, Prologis is proud to support students whose talent, ambition and perspectives will help shape the future of CRE. This scholarship is one way we can help open doors, create meaningful connections and encourage the next generation of industry leaders.”
