UI alumnus creates scholarship in real estate law

-

From the University of Iowa News Services Office
University of Iowa graduate Ted Seldin and his wife, Sarah, of Omaha, Neb., have made a gift to the Iowa Law School Foundation to endow a scholarship in real estate law at the University of Iowa College of Law.

The Theodore M. and Sarah N. Seldin Scholarship in Real Estate Law will be awarded to law students who demonstrate financial need and share Seldin’s interest in improving the quality of life in the Mid-west through well-planned real estate development, including the preservation of affordable housing.

Seldin received a B.A. degree in economics in 1953 and a J.D. degree in 1955 from the UI. For 50 years he has been a principal in the Seldin family’s real estate, development and management business in Iowa, Nebraska and Kansas. Established by Seldin’s father in Council Bluffs, Iowa, in 1923, the Seldin Company’s core value is to serve the community. Its headquarters have been in Omaha since 1958.

The Seldins created the scholarship in honor of UI law professor and UI president emeritus Willard “Sandy” Boyd, Ted Seldin’s professor and longtime friend.

Dean Carolyn Jones of the UI College of Law said the gift will provide invaluable support for students interested in pursuing real estate law.
