About this award
$5,000 for undergraduate students in their second year or beyond at UCalgary, MRU, or SAIT who plan to work in commercial real estate — apply by June 1, 2026.
You can receive one of two or more awards valued at $5,000 each. 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 student pursuing a career in commercial real estate and want to bring a diverse perspective to the industry. You must apply by June 1, 2026. When you 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 funds are applied directly to your tuition rather than sent as a cash payment. Confirm with Calgary Foundation if there are any specific steps you need to take to ensure the money reaches your student account. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
