Owner Scholarship Applications

Owners are a important member of the design-build team. A well-informed Owner can set the stage for a successful project from procurement through execution. There is a mental shift with design-build projects.

The Louis J. Martinez Owner Scholarship Fund provides funding to help defray costs for qualified Florida Owners to attend, participate in and/or provide volunteer support to DBIA conferences, training sessions, programs and activities. While we can't guarantee all requests will be granted, this fund can help cover registration costs, lodging and occasionally travel expenses.

Applications to cover costs for the 2026 conference are now being accepted. All conference scholarships will include a conference registration. You may also request up to two nights of hotel accommodations, including parking. Due to availability, rooms are only available for the nights of Monday, June 15 and Tuesday, June 16. Travel will not be reimbursed. Meal functions included with the registration are the opening night event, Owner's Forum luncheon, breakfast on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, and awards luncheon. No other meals are reimbursed.

DEADLINE for Conference Scholarships: APRIL 30, 2026
