About this award
$7,000 for a Black Canadian student graduating from a selected Calgary-area high school who is entering a full-time agriculture or engineering program.
You can receive one award valued at $7,000. 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 career in agriculture or engineering and have a history of helping your community. Apply by June 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Calgary Foundation how and when you will hear back—whether it is by email, phone, or through an online 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 as a single payment or in installments so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed—if you are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it is a one-time award or renewable and what you need to maintain.
