Okotoks Rotary Career Opportunity Awards

About this award

$1,500 for graduating Grade 12 students from Okotoks high schools entering a Canadian post-secondary program — apply by June 1, 2026.

You can receive one of two awards valued at $1,500 each. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. The money is applied directly to your tuition. This is for you if you are a leader in your school or community who also faces financial challenges while pursuing your post-secondary goals. You must apply by June 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Calgary Foundation how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through their 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 funds are applied directly to your tuition rather than sent as a cash payment. Confirm with Calgary Foundation during your application if there are specific steps you need to take to ensure the money reaches 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.
