Student Scholarship Sponsorship Announcement 2024

 

Who?

At the Washington State Chapter of CoreNet Global, our mission is to “Provide an environment for Education, Leadership Development, and Networking to enhance the success of corporate real estate professionals and the organizations they serve.” We are dedicated to making sure everyone gets an opportunity to succeed. University Relations in partnership with the Sponsorship committee is accepting sponsorship for the CoreNet-WA Student Scholarship Awards 2024. 

 

The scholarship announcement will be circulated in the public and technical colleges in Washington state which includes the University of Washington and North Seattle College, etc. This scholarship will go directly to the student winners to be applied to their tuition expenses. 

 

What?

We are aiming to provide individual $1,000 scholarships.

Sponsor benefits:

1.     CoreNet Global has a global membership of nearly 10,000 consisting of corporate end-users, service providers, economic development, and academia, providing social media marketing opportunities including:

2.     Pre-announcements which will include the company name. Eg. We are awarding four $1,000 scholarships sponsored by Amazon.

3.    Post-awarding scholarships, the announcements will feature the company name and logo along with the headshot of the student awardee.

4.     Opportunity for the sponsoring company to mentor the scholarship winners.

 

Scholarship winner benefits:

1.     $1,000 scholarship award check issued to the recipient and school for payment of educational expenses.

2.     Full calendar-year membership for the next year to CoreNet Global and its resources.

3.     Two complimentary networking events (Happy hours, networking, tours, etc.).

4.     Option to pair with a CoreNet Mentor – informal industry professional mentor (possible opportunity for the sponsoring company to directly engage with the students)

 

Why?

Sponsoring the scholarship provides an opportunity for future leaders to gain more exposure to the world of corporate real estate. Our luncheons and events are attended by corporate real estate representatives from the region’s largest employers such as Amazon, Expedia, Microsoft, Starbucks, T-Mobile along with representatives from real estate development, brokerage and advisory, architectural, engineering and construction companies. 

 

It is a win-win-win situation for both the sponsors and the awardees (CoreNet-WA wins because we get financial help to make this program work and provide more scholarships). The sponsors will benefit from social media advertising and access to the future talent pool. Also, the awardees will get more visibility and direct access to the tons of resources and opportunities provided by CoreNet. This will help in increasing engagement opportunities with the students. The opportunity will also help the students financially and encourage them to create relationships with industry professionals.

 

When?

We are aiming to finalize the sponsors by February 29, 2024. The application process for the students will start in March 2024 and winners will be announced by May 3rd. This will align with the complimentary membership for the next year (2022).

 

Schedule:

1.     February – Finalize and announce sponsorships

2.     First week of March – Open the scholarship to students with an announcement

3.     April 21st – Students applications due

4.     May 3rd – Student winners announced
