About this award
Win up to $7,000 for your tuition if you are a Black Canadian student entering your second year or beyond of a business program — apply by June 1, 2026.
Depending on which award you win, you will receive between $5,000 and $7,000. Specifically, the ATB Community Leadership Scholarship and the KPMG Academic Excellence Scholarship are $5,000 each, while the Academic Excellence at MRU (Mount Royal University) Scholarship and the TD Business Leadership Scholarship are $7,000 each. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a Black Canadian student pursuing a business degree or diploma and have a strong record of leadership in your community. You must apply by June 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. 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.
