A strong community needs strong leaders, now and in the future.

The Calgary Foundation recognizes the importance of cultivating tomorrow's leaders and assists students in achieving their goals by providing support through over 100 student awards that have been established by our generous donors.

Awards are made to students at all educational levels including elementary, junior and high school, undergraduate and graduate. While the majority of student awards are awarded directly by various educational institutions, The Calgary Foundation also administers its own awards.

IMPORTANT: Electronic submissions and incomplete applications will not be considered

The majority of awards are for students graduating from a Calgary high school and/or attending an Alberta post-secondary institution. All applicants will be notified of the status of their application by the end of August.
