Schurgin Family Foundation Scholarship
The Schurgin Family Foundation Scholarship was established in 2008 to provide tuition assistance to undergraduate students who are studying retail real estate or a related field. Applicants for this scholarship must demonstrate academic excellence as the scholarship is intended to help qualified students pursue an education that will lead them into productive careers in commercial real estate. The Schurgin’s have been active ICSC members since 1979 and have maintained an unwavering commitment to the communities in which they do business. This annual scholarship is the Schurgin Family Foundation’s legacy, giving back to an industry that brought them so much joy and success.
