Academic Scholarships

The IFMA Foundation Scholarship

The IFMA Foundation scholarship  program has awarded more than $1.4 million dollars to more than  527 students since the program  started in the early 1990’s. Scholarship recipients receive a  cash award and fully subsidized  World Workplace conference travel,  registration and participation.

The individual scholarships  range in value from $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  programs.
