Past Presidents Scholarship

CTR has a long-standing Past Presidents Scholarship which is presented annually to deserving students involved in the real estate program at UConn’s Center for Real Estate and Urban Economic Studies (CREUES).  This year, a $1,000 scholarship was presented by CTR Past President Carol Christiansen at the annual CREUES Awards Banquet held on April 17 on the Storrs campus.

Jason Carroll graduates next year with a major in Real Estate and Urban Economics.  He maintains a 4.0 GPA and obtained his real estate salesperson license in 2023.  He credits his internship at Verition Fund Management where he worked as a facilities intern as a turning point in his real estate journey.  He had the opportunity to shadow a commercial broker and engage with property management professionals which gave him insight into both the buy/sell sides and the complexities of managing office space renovations and commercial real estate decisions.  Jason finds the challenge and complexity of real estate deeply rewarding and looks forward to contributing to the broader real estate industry.
