Malcolm Butters Scholarship Lifts The Burden of Debt

As a successful developer, FIU College of Business alumnus Malcolm Butters (MS ’83) understands how debilitating the burden of debt can be—and how many choices can open up to an individual once that debt is removed.

This experience, combined with Butters’ support of the College of Business’ real estate education, led him to establish the Malcolm Butters Real Estate Scholarship. For each of the past three years, the president and co-founder of Butters Construction & Development, Inc., has personally presented checks to two high-achieving graduates of the Hollo School’s Master of Science in International Real Estate. Announced at a ceremony during the school’s graduation dinner, they have provided a unique opportunity for the new class of graduates, many of whom are active real estate professionals, to network with and learn from an accomplished South Florida real estate leader.

At a recent dinner, Butters shared how FIU helped him achieve success, and why he is committed to helping FIU students, many of whom are local and take out student loans, move forward with a lightened debt load. “It’s great to see the joy in their faces,” he said. “To me, FIU is a special place.”
