Jeanne Henuset-Fraser Memorial Bursary for Rural Manitoba Students

About this award

Get between $500 and $2,500 for your tuition if you are a woman from rural Manitoba entering your second year of study or a graduate program — apply by June 15, 2026.

You can receive one or more bursaries ranging from $500 to $2,500 in value. This is a bursary, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. The funds are applied directly to your tuition. This is for you if you identify as a woman from a rural background who is determined to complete your education and enter a specific professional career. You must apply by June 15, 2026. When you apply, ask Calgary Foundation how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an 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. Confirm with Calgary Foundation during your application if there are any other specific payment arrangements. 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.
