Apply by August 1, November 1, or February 1 for annual funding available to Indigenous students in any undergraduate program at the University of Calgary.
The provider doesn't post a fixed dollar amount — contact University of Calgary to confirm the value for your specific award before you apply. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as Indigenous and are pursuing your undergraduate degree at the University of Calgary. You have three deadlines to choose from: August 1, November 1, and February 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check University of Calgary's program page or call their office to confirm when you will hear back. Selection criteria aren't published — ask University of Calgary how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask University of Calgary during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with University of Calgary whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
Read the official award page end-to-end. Confirm you meet every requirement before you start.
Double-check every field, save a copy, and submit at least 24 hours early.
The biggest mistake is providing vague information about your heritage.
Winners instead provide clear, confirmed proof of their Indigenous affiliation to meet the mandatory criteria.
The biggest mistake is submitting the application without checking for missing documents.
Winners instead double-check that their application is marked as complete by the provider before the deadline.
The biggest mistake is waiting until the final deadline to apply.
Since there are three dates (August 1, November 1, and February 1), you should aim for the earliest one that fits your entry status to get your funding sorted sooner.
