Students from both American and Canadian schools were eligible for the scholarships. Seven scholarships were awarded in total – five to undergraduate students and two to graduate students.
“Schulich students took two out of the top four positions in this year’s CREW Network scholarship rankings – an incredible achievement considering that the scholarship is available to students at every university across North America,” said Andre 
Kuzmicki, executive director of Schulich’s Program in Real Estate and Infrastructure.
