MEDICAL ELECTIVE AWARDS

General Information and Policies

NOTE: Medical Elective Awards are for students in the Faculty of Medicine MD program only.

Application forms for Medical Elective Awards are available from the Student Awards and Financial Aid web site by the end of January each year: www.ucalgary.ca/awards/

Application must be made on the current application form.

Unless otherwise stated, completed applications for these awards must be postmarked or received by the Student Awards and Financial Aid office on or before April 1.

Unless otherwise stated, the following policies are in effect with regard to University administered awards:

In order to qualify:

• Monetary awards are provided directly to the student one month prior to undertaking the approved elective study. Students must first provide a copy of the elective approval form as well as confirmation of acceptance by the hospital/clinic where the elective is to take place. In the event that the elective has already been completed prior to receiving notification of the award from the Student Awards and Financial Aid office, the student must then provide a copy of the elective evaluation in addition to the elective approval.

• Should the student change the dates or focus of the elective study, they must provide a copy of the change to the Student Awards office as it may affect their eligibility for the award.

• If a student is granted an award, the University of Calgary reserves the right to release pertinent information to provincial funding bodies or the donor of the award.

The University assumes liability for the payment of scholarships, bursaries, prizes and other awards only to the extent that gifts from donors, or returns from particular investments for these purposes will permit.

As this information is published a considerable time before the opening of the session, the University reserves the right to make whatever changes circumstances may require, including cancellation or addition of particular awards.
