About this award

You can receive one award valued at a $2,500 minimum. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. If you maintain a full-time course load (as defined by the institution), the award is renewable for three consecutive years of study. This is for you if you are a community-minded student from Calgary who has a strong connection to the Filipino 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 Calgary Foundation how and when you'll 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 during your application if there are any other specific payment schedules you should know about. To keep this scholarship for the next two years, you must remain enrolled in a full-time course load. Since specific GPA requirements aren't listed, confirm with Calgary Foundation if you need to maintain a certain average to keep the funding.

Who qualifies

You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. You must be entering your first year of full-time undergraduate studies at a Canadian post-secondary institution immediately following your graduation from Grade 12. You must have attended either a Public (Calgary Board of Education — the city's main public school system) or Separate (Calgary Catholic School District — the city's Catholic school system) school in Calgary. You also need to demonstrate financial need and show that you have contributed to your community by volunteering through church, community organizations, athletics, and cultural or political activities. Preference will be given to students whose families have a connection to the Filipino community.

Tips for applying

  • Community InvolvementAvoid listing a few clubs without explaining your impact. Instead, describe exactly how your volunteering at a church or cultural organization helped others. List your specific roles and the number of hours you dedicated to each activity.
  • ReferencesMany students provide a generic teacher reference. Instead, choose a referee who can personally vouch for your community leadership and character. Ask your referee to provide specific examples of your volunteer work.
  • StrategyFocus your application on the intersection of your Calgary roots and your community service. Clearly highlight any connections your family has to the Filipino community, as this is a priority for the selection committee.
  • RealismBecause this is a single award with a preference for a specific community connection, it is highly competitive. Apply for several other Calgary Foundation awards at the same time to increase your chances of getting funding.
