SRPAA Leadership Fund for Black and Indigenous Communities
The Schulich Real Property Alumni Association (SRPAA) and the Real Estate and Infrastructure programs at the Schulich School of Business have established the SRPAA Leadership Awards for Black and Indigenous Communities. Supported by the SRPAA and alumni and friends of the program, the Fund aims to create more equitable and inclusive opportunities for promising young individuals from underrepresented communities to obtain their undergraduate degree and pursue a career in business. Each year, the Fund will support two student awards, the SRPAA Leadership Award for Black Communities and the SRPAA Leadership Award for Indigenous Communities.
The SRPAA Leadership Awards will be given annually to incoming Black and Indigenous domestic BBA students, who have demonstrated leadership characteristics, resilience and community involvement. Preference will be granted to individuals with the greatest financial need. The awards are valued at $7,500 each and are renewable for up to three additional years provided the student remains in good academic standing. The maximum amount per student is $30,000. The recipient will also have optional access to mentoring and guidance from the alumni community, and those with an interest in pursuing a real estate career will have the opportunity to receive assistance in securing an internship after their third year.
