2026 PRIDE SCHOLARSHIPS​
​
Coinciding with the 2026 Roundtable, the Real Estate Pride Council will award scholarships recognizing graduate students who have made an exceptional contribution to the advancement of LGBT+ visibility and who intend to pursue careers in commercial real estate or a related profession. We welcome applications from students at all accredited universities, without regard to gender or sexual orientation.

Interested students and prospective sponsors can learn more at the scholarship application site.
2024 scholarship recipient Kartik Shastri graduated from the Wharton School, where he was Co-President of the Real Estate Club, a William P. Lauder Leadership Fellow, and teaching assistant for Angela Duckworth and real estate professors Maisy Wong, Jessie Handbury, and Ben Keys. He is now a Consultant with BCG, based in Boston.
