SCHOLARSHIPS/GRANTS

The R. Bruce Campbell Grant Fund

In 2018 IREM Maryland proudly renamed its Past Presidents Grant Fund in honor of R. Bruce Campbell, a devoted leader whose impact on the chapter was profound and lasting. Bruce served as a two-time Chapter President and longtime Legislative Committee Chair, and no one was a stronger advocate for IREM and its mission.

Bruce was an IREM Instructor for many years and a recipient of the prestigious Lloyd D. Hanford Sr. Distinguished Instructor Award from IREM Headquarters. He passed away in 2018 and is deeply missed. His legacy remains indelibly linked to IREM Maryland and continues to inspire our members.

Whether you are aspiring to earn an IREM credential or seeking to expand your professional knowledge, IREM is committed to supporting your professional development.
