Who is Scion?

At The Scion Group, we’re changing what student housing means. It’s bigger than beds and buildings. It’s about providing unique experiences and creating communities — both on and off campus — that feel less like a place and more like a home. As one of North America’s leading owners, operators and advisors of student housing, we are defining the future of student living.

Taking the student housing industry by storm starts by surrounding yourself with the right people. We want trail blazers and risk takers. Go-getters and game changers. We want dreamers and doers. From operations to accounting, advisory to finance, we’re building a team to help us take student living to the next level.

At Scion, we don’t just lead the way, we Make Way. How do we do it? We know we’re far from perfect and we’re relentless in finding ways to better ourselves. You'll come to find out that Make Way is a call to action to pave your own path and to lead, not follow. It’s what sets Scion apart and secures our spot as one of the fastest growing, industry-leading companies.
