Overview
With the support of our scholarship sponsors, the Foundation annually awards scholarships to deserving FM students worldwide.
Details
The IFMA Foundation scholarship program has awarded more than US$1.4 million dollars to more than 576 students since the program started in the early 1990s. Scholarship recipients receive a cash award and fully subsidized World Workplace conference travel, registration and participation.
The individual scholarships range in value from US$1,500 to $10,000 and are awarded to undergraduate (2-year and 4-year) and graduate students enrolled in facility management or FM-related (built environment) programs.

High school seniors, associate degree students, working students and veterans are encouraged to apply.
