University of Florida Warrington College of Business is proud to announce a new

other Historically Black Colleges or Universities (HBCU) and are interested in
studying real estate.
The Bergstrom-Crossman

The scholarship will
cover all costs of attendance, including tuition, fees, books and supplies, a
computer, a room and board stipend and a professional development supplement.
The Bergstrom-Crossman
Real Estate Scholarship aims to address the lack of diversity in the real
estate industry in addition to making a real estate education more equitable
and accessible to exceptional students.

This scholarship is available thanks to the efforts of John Crossman, Founder of Winter Park-based Crossman Career Builders and UF Real Estate Advisory Board Member, in partnership with Kelley Bergstrom, namesake of the Center and longtime Chairman’s Circle member of the Bergstrom Center.
Crossman and Bergstrom
have long been passionate about supporting real estate programs at HBCUs and
are excited to expand opportunities for students interested in studying at the
University of Florida .
“The partnership of
FAMU, UF and Kelley Bergstrom is an outstanding example of leaders providing
actionable steps with measurable results to deal with systemic issues,”
Crossman said.

Like Bergstrom and
Crossman, the Warrington College of Business is committed to increasing and
expanding the pool of talented professionals in the real estate industry by
supporting opportunities for students in the MSRE program across all aspects of
diversity, including ethnicity, gender, race, socioeconomic status,
professional experience, geography, class and other characteristics.

“Increasing the
diversity of the real estate industry is critical to its future,” said Tim
Becker, Executive Director of the Kelley A. Bergstrom Real Estate Center.
“Partnering with FAMU on
this scholarship is a first step in providing more opportunity for a diverse
group of students to access a career in real estate.
"Through the
leadership of Kelley and John, the Bergstrom Center and the No. 1 ranked
Collier MSRE program will strive to continue providing exceptional, diverse
talent to the real estate industry.”
