About this award

You can receive $16,100. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a professional student entering your first year of the JD (Juris Doctor — the professional degree required to practice law) program at the University of Calgary and have a strong record of community service. You apply between February 1 and May 1. When you apply, ask the University of Calgary how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the application portal. Selection is based on your academic merit, financial need, and your involvement in extracurricular activities or community service. Since only 1 award is available, ask the University of Calgary how they choose the winner and how many students typically apply so you can judge your odds. Ask the University of Calgary during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, while others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with the University of Calgary whether it is a one-time award or if it is renewable and what you need to maintain.
