About this award
Get approximately $1,500 for your tuition if you are an Alberta resident entering your fourth year of an Italian Studies major — apply by June 1, 2026.
You can receive one award at approximately $1,500. 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 mastering the language through your university degree. You must apply by June 1, 2026. The provider does not say when or how you will be notified of the result, so ask Calgary Foundation if they notify winners by email or through a 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. Since it does not go to your bank account, confirm with Calgary Foundation how they coordinate the payment with your school's financial office. 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.
Can you get it?
- Permanent Resident — citizenship requirement
- Resident of AB — provincial eligibility
