VETERANS IN REAL ESTATE PROGRAM CCIM Institute is proud to promote a historic initiative to increase the representation of veterans in our industry. Through the G.I. Bill, veterans can now receive a full scholarship to earn the CCIM designation. Who is eligible? What does it cover? Any U.S. veteran or eligible beneficiaries (spouse or children) may qualify for U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) educational benefits. CCIM Institute’s designation program is a Non-College- Degree (NCD) certificate which has been approved by the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs (IDVA) for use of G.I. Bill Benefits to cover the cost of tuition and fees. Eligible veterans and beneficiaries may be able to receive full benefits based on their eligibility status and VA Chapter, i.e. Chapter 33, (Post-9/11), Chapter 30 (Montgomery G.I. Bill), Chapter 1606 (Selective Reserve), Chapter 35 (Survivors Education Assistance Program). “ This was the most comprehensive pathway I found into the industry. I was constantly researching the best ways to make up for lost time and the answers always returned to CCIM Institute.” - Jeff Guild Norfolk, Virginia U.S. Navy Seal, 20 years Begin your path to the pin today.
