About this award

Get between $8,500 and $10,000 for your petroleum-focused degree or diploma — apply by June 15, 2026.

You can receive one of one or more awards valued at $8,500 to $10,000. Specifically, you get $8,500 if you are in a diploma program and $10,000 if you are in a degree program. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. Depending on how many years you have left in your program, you can renew this for up to two consecutive years. This means you can get up to three years of support total for degree programs and up to two years of support total for diploma programs. This is for you if you are a high-achieving student who wants to build a career in the Canadian energy industry. You must apply by June 15, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or 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 money is applied directly to your tuition. Confirm with Calgary Foundation during your application if there are any other specific payment schedules you should know about. To keep the award, you must maintain your eligibility. Renewal conditions aren't fully listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation exactly what you need to maintain to keep the funding.
