Recent University of Tulsa graduate Anahi Serna was one of six recipients of the Real Estate Network Empowering Women (RENEW) Scholarship last semester.
RENEW’s mission is to inspire, empower, and advance women in commercial real estate finance through distinctive programs, networking, and scholarship opportunities. RENEW Scholarships are designed to encourage and support young and promising women pursuing opportunities in commercial real estate and are given annually.
“I feel extremely grateful and honored for receiving this award! I’m also really thankful for RENEW,” said Serna, who graduated in December with a major in finance and minor in real estate. “Because of their mission, I was able to finish my education at TU!”
Serna had to submit a transcript, letter of recommendation, and resume to apply, in addition to writing an essay on the topic “How do you empower women in your school and community?” She received an award of $5,000 for the 2023-24 academic year.
This was the first time that a student from Oklahoma had received a RENEW scholarship.
