About this award
$7,000 for a Mount Royal University student with a GPA of 3.7 or 80% or higher.
You can receive one award of $7,000. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have maintained a near-perfect academic record while studying at Mount Royal University. No deadline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Calgary Foundation's program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Calgary Foundation how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. The money is applied directly to tuition. Confirm with your school's financial aid office how this appears on your account so you can plan your payments. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Can you get it?
