Calgary Black Chambers Legacy Scholarship

About this award

$2,500 for Black Canadian students entering their second year or beyond of an undergraduate degree or diploma — apply by June 1, 2026.

You can receive one of eight awards valued at $2,500 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 who has a strong record of community involvement and leadership while pursuing your first degree or diploma. You must apply by June 1, 2026. No information is provided about when or how you will be notified of the result — ask Calgary Foundation if they notify winners by email, phone, or a portal. 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 this happens automatically or if you need to provide specific billing details. 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.
