Calgary Black Chambers Legacy Scholarship

About this award

$2,500 for Black Canadian students entering their second year or beyond of an undergraduate program — 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. The money is applied directly to your tuition. This is for you if you are a Black Canadian student who has balanced your academic studies with active involvement in your school or local community. You must apply by June 1, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is through email, a portal, or by 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 funds are applied directly to your tuition. Confirm with Calgary Foundation if there are any specific steps you need to take to ensure the money reaches 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.
