The NTBA Scholarship Program

In 2017, a scholarship was added to the program in honor of NTBA Board Member Ian Gillis who passed away in 2016. Ian enjoyed more than 35 years in the real estate industry, both in the United States and the United Kingdom, and co-founded Urban Community Partners in 2001 to focus on walkable, smart growth Traditional Neighborhood Design projects. Ian was passionate about “creating neighborhoods and communities with vision and tradition; enduring environments which will provide future generations with remarkable places in which to live.”

The recipients of the NTBA Scholarships will attend an NTBA Roundtable as our guest and will be recognized as the recipients of this honor during the conference.  The scholarship recipients will also be reimbursed for up to $400 in transportation costs and $400 in lodging/meal costs.

 The NTBA Scholarship Fund

The NTBA believes that furthering the education of the next generation of town builders in the fundamentals we all hold so dear is the best way of honoring Ian’s years of dedicated work. To contribute to the fund, http://ntba.net/scholarship-2/
