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.
To qualify, you must identify as a woman and have resided in rural Manitoba, specifically outside of Winnipeg and Brandon. You must be attending a Canadian post-secondary institution in the upcoming Fall. You must be entering your second year of study or beyond in an undergraduate program, or you must be studying at the graduate level. 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 be pursuing a certificate, diploma, degree, or journeyperson certification that leads to direct employment in your field, such as nursing, education, physiotherapy, or environmental sciences. Additionally, you must demonstrate financial need and community involvement. Preference will be given to you if you remain in or plan to return to Manitoba to pursue your career.
