About this award

You will receive one or more awards valued at a minimum of $3,500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a law student who balances your studies with a passion for competitive sports, music, fine arts, or fighting for social justice. The June 1, 2026 deadline has passed and this round is closed. Check Calgary Foundation's awards page for the next application window. When you do 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 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.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. You need to be enrolled full-time in a qualified post-secondary institution in Alberta, Saskatchewan, or British Columbia. Specifically, you must be enrolled in your second year of study or beyond in a Juris Doctor (JD — a professional degree required to practice law) program. You must demonstrate financial need and maintain good academic standing with a cumulative GPA greater than or equal to 2.7 or 70%. Finally, you must show that you are or have been active in competitive sport, music, fine arts, or social justice issues.

Tips for applying

  • Community InvolvementAvoid listing activities without explaining your role. Instead, describe exactly how you led a team or organized an event. Give a specific example of a project where you made a difference.
  • ReferencesAvoid providing a generic character reference. Instead, choose a referee who can speak directly to your passion for music, art, or sport. Ask your coach or instructor to highlight your discipline and teamwork.
  • StrategyAvoid treating the financial need section as a formality. Instead, clearly explain how this $3,500 will reduce your stress and allow you to focus on your JD studies. Be honest and specific about your gaps.
  • RealismAvoid assuming a high GPA is enough. Instead, realize this award targets a very specific intersection of law, athletics, and arts. If you don't have a strong record in those extracurriculars, your odds are much lower.
