About this award
Get $1,500 for your tuition if you are a Canadian citizen entering your third or fourth year of a petroleum-focused Journeyperson Certification program — apply by June 15, 2026.
You can receive one or more awards valued at $1,500, which are applied directly to your tuition. 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 when you first get the award, it is renewable for up to one year of Journeyperson Certification study, giving you up to two years of support total. If you renew, you must do so within two calendar years of receiving the first award. This is for you if you are already working in a petroleum-focused role and want to complete your certification to build a long-term career in the 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 steps you need to take. 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 ensure you get the second year of funding.
