Building on a history of supporting the pursuit of higher education, leading real estate technology provider Yardi is partnering with 20 colleges and universities across the United States and Canada to provide college scholarships to students with financial needs. The Yardi Foundation has committed over $10 million in scholarships and student support over the next four years.

“Yardi recognizes that a college degree can be life-changing, especially for first-generation scholars, and we are excited to join these colleges and universities and help students achieve their goals,” said Jay Shobe, a Yardi senior vice president.

Previously, Yardi had committed to scholarship support at four Historically Black Colleges and Universities in the Southeast, as well as the University of California, Santa Barbara. The newly announced scholarships will be available at:

  • Arizona State University
  • California State University, Channel Islands
  • California State University, Fullerton
  • University of Colorado, Colorado Springs
  • Farmingdale State College
  • Georgia State University
  • Morehouse College
  • North Carolina Central University
  • North Carolina State
  • Shaw University
  • Spelman College
  • Stony Brook University
  • Toronto Metropolitan University
  • University of California, Berkeley
  • University of California, Irvine
  • University of California, Santa Barbara
  • University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill
  • University of North Texas
  • University of Texas, Arlington
  • University of Texas, Austin

Yardi Scholarships are designed for recipients with need, many of whom will be their family’s first immediate member to attend a four-year college. Selected students will have majors related to business or computer science. Students can contact their institutions’ financial aid departments for more information.

Among the institutions offering Yardi Scholarships is Farmingdale State College in New York. “This is an incredibly generous gift that we are enormously grateful to receive on behalf of our students,” said Matthew Colson, vice president of development and communications.

“Yardi is taking a leadership role in improving the futures of our distinctive and diverse community here at FSC. This investment will redefine the scope of opportunity for our students and is sure to pay dividends far into the future.”
