About this award
Get approximately $5,000 for your graduate studies in Italian if you are an Alberta resident — 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. The funds are applied directly to your tuition. This is for you if you are a graduate student dedicated to the preservation and study of Italian culture and language. You must apply by June 1, 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 rather than sent as a cash payment. Confirm with 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're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

More details
Academic Standing
The biggest mistake is providing only a transcript.
Strategy
Winners instead include a brief explanation of their achievements and how their high academic standing relates to their passion for Italian studies.
References
The biggest mistake is choosing a generic reference.
Strategy
Winners instead provide a letter from a professor in the Italian department who can specifically vouch for their commitment to the culture.
Strategy
Focus your application on the "preservation" aspect of the language.
Strategy
Since the funder is an association dedicated to keeping the Friuli-Venezia Giulia heritage alive, show how your studies contribute to that goal.
