ScholarshipWOMEN LEADERS IN REAL ESTATEThe Real Estate Finance Forum Scholarship fund was created in 2006 to encourage the rise of young women who have chosen to pursue an education in real estate for the purpose of building a career in a real estate related field. Since that time, REFF has provided numerous scholarships to women across many colleges and universities in Chicagoland and surrounding states. Starting in 2016, REFF has chosen to partner with The Goldie Initiative (Goldie B. Wolfe Miller Women Leaders in Real Estate) Scholarship Program and donates $10,000 annually to support two graduate level scholarships for women focusing on real estate finance or related fields each year.
