About the Scholar Program
The Harold E. Eisenberg Real Estate Scholar Program was launched in 2015 to provide prodigious undergraduate and graduate students an experience aimed to catapult their careers in real estate. The students are nominated by their universities and chosen by a panel of distinguished judges. Scholars are announced publicly in the fall and recognized in various ways throughout the year.
The Foundation is committed to embracing life’s challenges through gastrointestinal cancer research and education. We aim to ensure our cancer research and real estate education programs empower communities by fostering diversity, inclusivity, access, and equity.

“This was an experience that no classroom can provide.” - Ben Heller
“I will enter the professional world a step ahead.” - Nikki Patel
“The [Foundation’s] mentorship days have broadened my perspective on opportunities that exist in the real estate and development world. Mentorship is essential to get insight into parts of an industry that you’re unfamiliar with, in a safe and comfortable environment. The connections have been incredibly valuable.” - Rebecca Palmer
