Jim Dinning / Calgary Lougheed Scholarship

About this award

Get at least $2,000 for your second year of undergraduate studies at a select Calgary institution — apply by May 30, 2026.

You can receive one award valued at a minimum of $2,000. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a leader in your community who balances high grades with a strong commitment to volunteering, athletics, or local politics. You must apply by May 30, 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 money is applied directly to your tuition rather than being sent to you as cash. Confirm with your school's financial aid office how this credit will appear on your 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.
