UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate

The award is not based purely on academic performance or industry involvement, but on the student's commitment and contribution to the strength and the reputation of the UCLA Real Estate Program at Anderson and throughout the University. The Anderson Real Estate Association (AREA) will submit nominations to the Ziman Center selection committee in the spring quarter. The award recipient will be recognized by the committee, as well as his or her peers, as someone whose Anderson career has been distinguished by action, commitment, and the pursuit of excellence, both in individual endeavors and on behalf of the Anderson Real Estate Program.

This prestigious award is named for John S. Long, President & CEO of Highridge Partners, Inc., and Founding Chairman of the Ziman Center Board. In 2000, Mr. Long was the driving force behind the establishment of the school's Ziman Center for Real Estate. The John S. Long award was created in 2009 to recognize his tremendous contributions to the University and its real estate program, and to cultivate within students that rare brand of active, principled leadership that John embodies.

The fellowship is awarded to a student who has demonstrated leadership experience and articulated a meaningful interest in pursuing a career path in real estate. The student will be focused on achieving a significant leadership role within the broader real estate industry in the United States. Preference will be given to a deserving female candidate to encourage more women to pursue leadership positions in the real estate industry. This endowment will also provide for a one-year, complimentary membership in CREW-LA and periodic mentorship meetings with senior members of CREW-LA during that year.

AWARDS: Number of awards and amounts vary.

REQUIREMENTS: Fellowship will be awarded to a student in good standing in the full-time MBA program with academic studies focused in the Ziman Center for Real Estate.
