About this award

$7,000 for a Mount Royal University student with a GPA of 3.7 or 80% or higher.

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 your tuition. Confirm with Calgary Foundation if there are any specific steps you need to take to ensure the funds reach your student account. 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.
