Etkin Scholars
Application Deadline - September 25, 2023
To apply for the 2023-24 Etkins Scholars program
In 2021, ULI Atlanta was one of five district councils selected to participate in the ULI Etkin Scholar Program. The program is designed to introduce college and university students with a real estate interest and degree focus to the resources available through ULI membership while integrating those students into the ULI path of learning.
In May 2022, ULI Atlanta graduated 10 Etkin Scholars. Students in the program were from Emory University, Georgia State, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State, and Morehouse College. The Atlanta Scholars had the opportunity to tour projects, meet local leaders, and learn about career options, industry trends, and challenges.
Special thank you to ULI members and program leaders, Amanda Rhein, Keith Mack, and Quinn Green.
