Tuition and fee payment plans
UCalgary offers self-service payment plans for all students. Your tuition and general fees can be paid in installments over the term, rather than being due all at once on the term fee deadline.
Funding your education
You'll likely use a variety of sources to cover the costs of attending university. This might include awards, scholarships, bursaries, RESPs, money from your family, a part-time job or student loans.
Undergraduate Awards — Financing Your Education
Awards can reduce the cost of your education, lightening the financial burden of student loans and tuition, but they can also be so much more. It’s recognition; it's also a relief and joy. In this video, you’ll see how awards impacted UCalgary students Grace Webber, Angela Situ and Marcus Gee.
