About this award
$5,000 for a student who shows strong involvement in community leadership.
You can receive one award of $5,000. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have spent your time taking on leadership roles and helping others within your community. 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 school 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.
