About this award
$4,000 for Grade 12 students at six specific Calgary high schools who are headed to a Canadian post-secondary institution — apply by May 30, 2026.
You can receive one of twelve or more awards valued at $4,000 each. There are also additional small awards that may be available. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a motivated Grade 12 student at one of the eligible Calgary high schools who wants to improve your life through education. You must apply by May 30, 2026. The provider does not state when or how you will be notified of the result — ask Calgary Foundation when you apply so you know when to expect an answer. Selection criteria aren't published, but the fund provides two awards to students at each eligible high school. 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 during your application if there are any specific steps you need to take to ensure the funds reach your school account. Renewal conditions aren't listed. Since this is for students transitioning from high school to post-secondary, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it is a one-time payment or if you can apply for it again in future years.
