The Royal Architectural Institute of Canada Foundation has announced details of a new scholarship in honour of former AIBC Member Kiyoshi Matsuzaki, who passed away last December. The annual Kiyoshi Matsuzaki RAIC Scholarship, a $3000 award offered through an endowment, is in support of a student enrolled in the RAIC Syllabus Program, in keeping with his personal belief in the future of the profession of architecture, and his unyielding support of the younger generation of students as the next leaders of the profession. Matsuzaki was a longtime RAIC volunteer who served as RAIC President in 2007/2008.
