Bradley Hillmo Anderson Memorial Award
About this award
Get approximately $500 for your tuition if you are a first-degree undergraduate student at a Calgary college or university — apply by May 30, 2026.
You can receive one or more awards valued at approximately $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 resourceful, entrepreneurial student who cares about social issues and stays active in your community. You must apply by May 30, 2026. When you apply, ask Calgary Foundation how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through their portal. 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 rather than sent to you as cash. Confirm with your school's financial aid office how this credit will appear on your 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.

More details
The biggest mistake is listing a few clubs without explaining your impact.
Winners instead describe exactly how they helped others and what they achieved.
List specific projects where you took charge.
Many students provide a generic letter from a teacher.
Winners instead secure a reference who can speak to their entrepreneurial spirit or leadership in a community setting.
Give your referee specific examples of your work to include in the letter.
