About this award

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. The money is applied directly to your tuition. This is for you if you are a Black Canadian student who is passionate about agriculture or engineering and has spent time volunteering in your community. The June 1, 2026 deadline has passed and this round is closed. Check Calgary Foundation's awards page for the next application window. When you do apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application 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 sent directly to your school to pay for your tuition. Confirm with Calgary Foundation during your application if there are any other specific payment steps you need to follow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it's a one-time award or if you can apply again.
