About this award
$5,000 for undergraduate students at UCalgary, MRU, or SAIT who are entering their second year or beyond and plan to work in commercial real estate — apply by June 1, 2026.
You can win 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. This is for you if you are a woman or a member of a diverse group pursuing a career in commercial real estate and related fields. You must apply by June 1, 2026. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you will hear back via email, 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 specific steps you need to take to ensure the funds reach your school account. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it is a one-time award or renewable and what you need to maintain.
