About the IREM LA Scholarship Program

The IREM Los Angeles Chapter is committed to supporting the professional growth of our members through access to high-quality industry education. The Scholarship Fund was created to help remove financial barriers for members pursuing IREM certifications and coursework and is funded by proceeds from chapter fundraising events and the generous contributions of our members and supporters.

Scholarship awards may be applied toward eligible IREM courses, credentialing programs, and other approved educational opportunities that advance a member’s career in real estate management.
