An inaugural scholarship of $25,000 for a student entering the Schulich School of Business Master of Real Estate & Infrastructure (MREI) program was awarded to its first recipient earlier this month.
Natasha Kuperman received the RioCan Scholarship for demonstrating the highest academic standing, a top-ranking GMAT score, and strong evidence of leadership ability and commitment to the industry.

Members of the Brookfield Centre in Real Estate & Infrastructure at the Schulich School of Business, together with representatives from RioCan, including Stuart Baum (vice-president, Human Resources), Mallory Margel (director, Human Resources & Employee Relations) and Emmett Costin (human resources administrator), gathered to celebrate the achievements of Kuperman.
Schulich launched the MREI program in January 2017. It is Canada’s first 12-month master of real estate and infrastructure program – one of only a few programs of its kind in the world.
RioCan has also generously established a fully funded development internship position for one MREI student in term 3.
