Kids Cancer Care Derek Wandzura Memorial Scholarship

About this award

Get a one-time award starting at $2,500 for your tuition if you are a childhood cancer patient or survivor living in Southern Alberta — apply by May 1, 2026.

You can receive a one-time award starting at $2,500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. Also, additional funding may be available to applicants demonstrating extenuating circumstances as a result of their experience with cancer. This is for you if you are a childhood cancer patient or survivor who wants to pursue higher education despite the challenges of your medical journey. You must apply by May 1, 2026. The provider does not state when or how you will be notified of the results — ask Calgary Foundation if they notify winners 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. 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 because this is a one-time award. Since you cannot apply for it again, confirm with Calgary Foundation if there are any other similar grants you can access in future years.
