About this award

Get approximately $1,500 for your tuition if you are a Master's or PhD student focusing on improving women's leadership in business — apply by June 15, 2026.

You can receive one award valued at approximately $1,500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a leader in the business world who is dedicated to advancing women into leadership roles. You must apply by June 15, 2026. Since the provider does not list a notification date, ask Calgary Foundation when and how you will hear back about your application. 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 another method. 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.
