About this award
Get $1,000 for your first or second year of a performing arts degree or diploma in Alberta or BC — apply by June 30, 2026.
You can win one of two awards valued at $1,000 each. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a young performer pursuing a passion for the acting and production industry. You must apply by June 30, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, 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 tuition. Confirm with Calgary Foundation if this happens automatically or if you need to provide a tuition invoice. 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.
