You can receive one of two bursaries valued at $3,000 each. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and does not have to be paid back, though it is applied directly to your tuition. This is for you if you are a First Nations, Métis, or Inuit student pursuing a graduate degree in Alberta. The May 15, 2026 deadline has passed. Check the Calgary Foundation scholarships page for the next deadline before you plan around this award. 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 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.
You qualify if you are a First Nations, Métis, or Inuit student attending an Alberta post-secondary institution in the upcoming fall. You must be entering any year of study in a graduate degree program. This includes professional degree programs that lead to entry-to-practice professions, such as Juris Doctor (law) or Doctor of Medicine (medical school) programs. You must also demonstrate financial need for tuition.
