SURP is one of six programs whose students are eligible to apply for the Oxford Properties Group Real Estate Research Competition. Students in their final year of study in these programs may compete by writing and submitting a 1,500-2000 word essay based on a question posed by Oxford Properties Group. A panel of real estate executives at Oxford Properties Group judges entries and the winning entries must combine strong research and analytical skills. The first-place prize is $10,000 to the winning student and $5,000 to his/her program; second place is $5,000 to the winning student; and third place is $2,500 to the winning student. Congratulations to Gilbert Schiller ('07) who was the first-prize recipient for 2007.
