About this award

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 enjoys engaging with social issues and staying active in your community. The May 30, 2026 deadline has passed and this round is closed. Check Calgary Foundation's awards page for the next application window. When you do apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the application 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 your tuition rather than sent as a cash payment. Confirm with your school's financial office how this credit will appear on your account. 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.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident attending a qualified Calgary post-secondary institution. You must be entering any year of study in your first undergraduate degree or diploma program and be registered in full-time study with a minimum 2.75 GPA (Grade Point Average — the average of all your final grades). You also need to demonstrate financial need, community involvement, and leadership experience. Preference is given to applicants with sailing experience.
