About this award

You can receive one award of approximately $1,500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a dedicated student of the Italian language and culture who is entering the final stretch of your degree. The June 1, 2026 deadline has passed. Check the Calgary Foundation scholarships page for the next deadline before you plan around this award. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, a portal, or phone. 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're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Calgary Foundation whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
