Dave Feeken Scholarship Foundation
The Dave Feeken Scholarship Foundation, Inc. was established in 2010 in
memory of REALTOR Dave Feeken. The Scholarship Foundation is designed to
assist persons in the real estate field who are seeking to obtain a related
designation such as GRI (Graduate, Realtors Institute), CPM (Certified
Property Manager), CRS (Certified Residential Specialist), CAE (Certified
Realtor Executive), CRB (Certified Real Estate Broker Manager) and the many
other designation and certifications in the real estate related fields.
Dave Feeken was involved in the REALTOR organization for over 20 years. He
served as the Alaska Association of REALTORS president in 1995 and received
REALTOR of the Year honor from the Association in 1996 and in 2005. He also
served as the AAR Industry Issues chair and was instrumental in having the
REALTOR organization be heard in Juneau on legislation that affected private
property rights. He served as a National Association of REALTORS Director
from 1997-1999 along with serving on numerous National Committees since
1994.
The Scholarship Foundation is a tax-exempt foundation; therefore, applicants
are encouraged regardless of any affiliation. Recipients are chosen on a
non-discriminatory basis without preference for employment or affiliation
with any real estate firm, broker, or membership in a professional
organization.
Scholarships are for tuition only and are limited to one person per calendar
year; no more than one course with a beginning date during any calendar year
shall be considered. Scholarships will be granted for the course requested
and only for such courses that lead to a real estate related professional
designation or certification. The Officers of the Foundation will determine
the dollar amount of the scholarships for a particular course, which may
vary from time to time, depending upon the funds available. The Officers
include President, Helen Jarratt; Secretary, Terry Bryan; Treasurer, Don
McKenzie; Director Emeritus, Glenda Feeken; and Director Ex Officio Sandy
Eherenman.
