Cultural Diversity Education Program

Although there is no Education Foundation Cultural Diversity Scholarship at this time, this program has many great benefits.

Commercial real estate’s workforce of today will not look like the workforce of tomorrow. CCIM Institute’s Cultural Diversity Education Program (CDEP) is committed to advancing the professional growth of underrepresented groups in the commercial real estate industry. Qualified applicants will learn the CCIM approach to investment strategy, financial analysis, and market analysis.

Since its inception, more than 1,500 students in the program have completed one of our two-day introductory courses, and some have gone on to earn the CCIM designation.

  • A $100 discount on tuition for the Foundations for Success in Commercial Real Estate Course, available in classroom or online;* and
  • A discounted tuition price of $915 on each CCIM core course (CI 101-104).*

Note: Discounts are not applied to prior coursework completed before application approval.
