The University of Calgary ii'taa'poh'to'p ASAP Award is the third stream in U of Calgary's ii'taa'poh'to'p Indigenous Strategy award family. The ASAP Award is distributed annually to one Indigenous student entering U of Calgary's undergraduate programs — including both first-time entrants AND transfer students from other institutions, which is its key distinction from the Excellence — Entrance award (which is first-year-only) and the Excellence — Continuing Students award (which is for already-enrolled UofC students). If you're transferring into U of Calgary from another university or college, this is the ii'taa'poh'to'p award designed for you. Confirmed Indigenous affiliation (any First Nation, Métis, or Inuit identification) is required. Application is through Indspire's central Building Brighter Futures portal with three deadlines per year (August 1, November 1, February 1).
You qualify for the ii'taa'poh'to'p ASAP Award if you (1) have confirmed Indigenous affiliation; (2) are entering or transferring into an undergraduate program at U of Calgary (any year); (3) submit a complete Indspire application. One award is distributed each annual cycle — selection is competitive among eligible applicants.
