2025 Etkin Scholars
For a fourth year, ULI Atlanta administered the Etkin Scholars’ program for 2024 – 2025. In 2022, ULI Atlanta was one of five district councils to pilot the ULI Etkin Scholar Program 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. The program has expanded this year to nine cities.
