John T. Riordan Professional Education Scholarship
The ICSC Foundation established the John T. Riordan Professional Education Scholarship in 2004 to encourage professional education and to further career development of retail real estate professionals. These scholarships enable industry professionals to attend the International Council of Shopping Centers’ (ICSC) professional development schools at no cost. The typical certificate program is five days in duration with two 3-1/2 hour sessions a day, except one day with a single 3-1/2 hour session. Activities are varied, ranging from formal lectures, class discussions and workshops to informal exchanges of information. One of the great benefits of attending is the opportunity for networking with colleagues.
