About this award
$1,500 for graduating Okotoks high school students entering a Canadian post-secondary program — apply by June 1, 2026.
You can win 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. This is for you if you are a graduating leader from the Okotoks area who has balanced your schoolwork with community or business activities and needs financial help to afford school. Apply by June 1, 2026. The provider does not state when or how you will be notified of the result — ask Calgary Foundation if they notify winners by email, phone, or 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. Confirm with Calgary Foundation if this happens via a direct payment to your school or a reimbursement. 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.
