The Kyle Block Scholarship

About this award

Get at least $3,500 for your tuition if you are a second-year undergraduate student in AB, SK, or BC studying engineering, business, or economics — 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 have balanced your academic life with a passion for competitive sports, music, fine arts, or fighting for social justice issues. 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 your tuition. Confirm with Calgary Foundation if there are any specific steps you need to take to ensure the funds reach your school account. 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.
