APREF scholarships provide financial support to students who study an API-accredited university degree in Property.  The scholarship funding is awarded for the duration of an API-accredited property valuation degree.

Recipients also access support from senior property professionals who act as a mentor during their studies.

We look forward to supporting these students through their property degrees and welcoming them into the property profession.
