What you will need

• ✓ Proof of a GPA greater than or equal to 3.7 or an average of 80% or higher

About this award

You can receive one award of $5,000. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have maintained a high academic average and want to reduce your tuition burden. No deadline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check Calgary Foundation's program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. 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 this happens automatically through your school's financial office or if you need to submit a voucher. 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.

Who qualifies
