About this award

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. The money is applied directly to your tuition. This is for you if you are a student leader who balances a demanding academic load in engineering, business, or economics with a serious commitment to competitive sports, music, fine arts, or social justice advocacy. Applications closed on June 1, 2026. Ask Calgary Foundation whether a new window has opened before you plan around this award. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a 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 funds are applied directly to your tuition rather than sent as a cash payment. Confirm with Calgary Foundation if there are any specific steps you need to take with your school's financial office to ensure the funds are processed correctly. 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.
