Get at least $3,500 for your tuition if you are a second-year or senior Juris Doctor student in AB, SK, or BC who is active in sports, arts, or social justice — apply by June 1, 2026.
You can receive one or more awards valued at a minimum of $3,500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a law student who balances your academic life with a passion for competitive athletics, music, fine arts, or fighting for social justice. You must apply by June 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Calgary Foundation how and when you will hear back — whether it is through email, a portal, or a phone call. 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 the funds go straight to your school's financial office or if there is another process for payment. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it is a one-time award or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Order through your school registrar: allow 1–2 weeks.
Give your referees at least two weeks' notice and share your résumé.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is listing activities as a simple bulleted list.
Winners instead tell stories about their impact in sports, arts, or social justice.
Describe a specific time your leadership made a difference in your team or community.
The biggest mistake is providing a generic letter from a teacher who barely knows you.
Winners provide a reference who can speak specifically to their character, wit, and adventurous spirit, matching the legacy of Kyle Block.
The biggest mistake is ignoring the financial need requirement.
