Calgary Black Chambers TransAlta STEM Scholarship

About this award

$7,000 for Black Canadian students entering their second year or beyond of a full-time STEM program at a Calgary institution — apply by June 1, 2026.

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 degree or diploma in STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) and want to combine your academic success with community leadership. You must apply by June 1, 2026. The provider does not state when or how you will be notified of the result — ask Calgary Foundation if they notify winners 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 applied directly to your tuition. Because it goes straight to the school, you won't receive a cash deposit in your bank account. 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.
