About this award
Get approximately $5,000 for your tuition if you are an Alberta resident pursuing a graduate degree in Italian Studies — apply by June 1, 2026.
You can receive one award at approximately $5,000. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are passionate about Italian culture and are dedicated to preserving the language through advanced academic study. You must apply by June 1, 2026. When you apply, ask the Calgary Foundation how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through their 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. Confirm with the Calgary Foundation 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.
