About this award
Get $1,000 for your first or second year of a performing arts program in Alberta or BC — apply by June 30, 2026.
You can win one of two awards valued at $1,000 each. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a young performer pursuing a passion for the performing arts and want to follow in the footsteps of creators who give back to others. You must apply by June 30, 2026. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the 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 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.
