About this award
$7,000 for Black Canadian students entering their second year or beyond of a full-time business degree or diploma — apply by June 1, 2026.
You can receive one award of $7,000. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a Black Canadian leader who has balanced your business studies with active involvement in your community. You must apply by June 1, 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 as a single payment or in installments so you can plan your cash flow. 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.
