Commercial Real Estate Scholarships

Impacting the Lives of Many

The Building Tomorrow Foundation is a Houston-based nonprofit committed to helping graduate students gain a college education in all degrees related to commercial real estate.  Benefitting developers, lenders, brokerage, architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, general contractors, and so many more.

Our initiative is due largely in part to a deficiency and lack of qualified individuals in the industry and it’s only getting more challenging as the volume of real estate development and transactions continues to increase.  The Foundation awards scholarships to provide vital educational opportunities for students seeking a career in the commercial real estate industry.  These Professionals will be the next generation of leadership in CRE in Houston and beyond.

Texas A&M MBA Grad

I am honored to have been selected as a recipient of the ACRP scholarship. The scholarship enabled me to continue my studies in the Master of Real Estate Program while alleviating the financial burden that comes with a higher education degree. Real estate is my passion and being able to get the financial support to pursue it has made my learning experience even better. Not only did ACRP help me out financially, but also, it gave me a network of individuals within commercial real estate that I know I will be able to reach out to in the future. I am truly thankful for this scholarship!
