The IFMA Foundation Scholarship program has been a vital initiative to support students pursuing careers in Facility Management (FM) and related fields. Since its inception in the early 1990s, the program has awarded more than $1.9 million to over 700 students. Scholarship recipients receive not only a cash award but also fully subsidized travel, registration, and participation in the prestigious World Workplace conference.
The scholarships, ranging from $1,500 to $10,000, are open to both undergraduate (2-year and 4-year) and graduate students enrolled in accredited FM programs. This program aims to create the next generation of FM professionals by providing essential financial support and career development opportunities through participation in the World Workplace Conference. Additionally, the program explores expanding scholarship opportunities for high school seniors, associate degree students, and veterans.
