According to a release, the foundation is again partnering with David Chapman, an associate professor of real estate at UCO, and the UCO Real Estate Program to benefit the UCO Real Estate Foundation Scholarship Fund. UCO offers Oklahoma’s only university-level academic program in the real estate industry.
