SCHOLARSHIP
The Scholarship Committee awards two students or emerging developers the opportunity to participate in the Roundtable. Individuals eligible for the Scholarship are those in an undergraduate or graduate-level program studying real estate development, architecture, engineering or urban planning or emerging new urban developers.
The NTBA Scholarship Program
The NTBA Scholarship Program is
offered in memory of NTBA leaders, David Scheuer, Ian Gillis, and Jackie Benson. David and Jackie were Founding Members of the association and all three served on the Board of Directors at various times over the years.
They believed the NTBA was a way to share ideas and experiences by inviting new urban real estate development professionals from across the country to come together and study existing and emerging great mixed-use town centers. They enjoyed the camaraderie of the NTBA, the exchange of lessons, and were always excited to implement ideas into the projects they touched.
The NTBA is honored to offer these Scholarships as an opportunity for two students or emerging developers to experience a new place, meet leaders in the field, and adapt the lessons into his/her future.
The recipients of the NTBA Scholarships will attend an NTBA Roundtable as our guests and will be recognized as the recipients of this honor during the conference. The scholarship recipients will be reimbursed for up to $1,000 in transportation, lodging, and meal costs.
The NTBA Scholarship Fund
The NTBA believes that furthering the education of the next generation of town builders in the fundamentals we all hold so dear is the best way of honoring those who paved our way.
