Call for Submissions: CaGBC Scholarship for Sustainable Design and Research

The Canada Green Building Council’s mission is to promote buildings that are environmentally responsible, profitable, and healthy places to live, work, learn and play. It engages a national coalition of industry leaders to accelerate the mainstream adoption of green building principles, policies, practices, standards and tools. The CAGBC Scholarship was established in 2006 to nurture the next generation of green designers, and promotes and encourages sustainable research and design in Canadian Schools of Architecture.

The CAGBC Scholarship fund will provide two annual awards of $5000 each for the best master’s thesis proposals by students attending an accredited School of Architecture in Canada or enrolled in the RAIC Syllabus Program.

Who can apply?

• Full-time students enrolled in a Master’s degree program that leads to a professional degree in architecture at an accredited University School of Architecture in Canada
• Those enrolled in the RAIC Syllabus Program

Only one submission is allowed from each school, so applicants must obtain their faculty’s approval before submitting.

Submission Requirements

Applications are to be submitted through the RAIC Awards Online Submission Platform. Entries can be submitted either in English or in French. Each submission must contain:

• Application Form
• A master’s thesis proposal, for a thesis scheduled for completion in the current or next academic year. The proposal will be a maximum of three pages
