The Eric S. Yarbro Fellowship Fund
In 2020, Project REAP—and the entire CRE industry—lost a champion for diversity: Eric Yarbro. In his honor, the Eric S. Yarbro Fellowship Fund was established through generous contributions from industry leaders, including Robert Freedman, the Real Estate Board of NY (REBNY), the Adolph & Ruth Schnurmacher Foundation, and REAP founder Mike Bush.
The fund provides scholarships annually to REAP fellows, enabling them to attend the REAP Academy and participate in industry conferences, furthering their education and career advancement in commercial real estate.
