South-West Ontario COF Study-Abroad Scholarships

For several years, the South-West Ontario Chapter of the RAIC College of Fellows has donated the proceeds from its annual fundraising event to the RAIC Foundation, supporting its various awards programs and related administrative activities. In 2024, the SW Ontario Fellows decided to allocate a portion of these proceeds to a new set of scholarships aimed at benefiting students at the three accredited architecture schools in their region.

• Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design at the University of Toronto
• Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science at Toronto Metropolitan University
• School of Architecture at the University of Waterloo.

In 2025, the SW Ontario Fellows chose to add this study abroad scholarships to those they had introduced in 2024.

These scholarships are open to students who require some financial assistance in order to be able to participate in a group study-abroad session organized by their school and accompanied by a faculty member.

Three study-abroad scholarships of $2,500 each will be awarded annually, starting in 2026, until all the money in the fund is spent, as follows: one to a student from the University of Toronto, one to a student from Toronto Metropolitan University and one to a student from the University of Waterloo. The total amount of the scholarship will be paid to each recipient upon announcement of their selection.

To be determined by the faculty of each school.
