General Information and Policies

The University of Calgary offers scholarships and bursaries to students applying to the University on the basis of their high school grades.

  • Value: $500 - $10,000.
  • Eligibility: Open to students entering first year in an undergraduate degree program in the Fall Term. Students entering the English for Academic Purposes (EAP) program or the English for Academic Purposes + Degree program are not eligible for these awards, and should apply prior to entering the first year of an undergraduate degree program. The scholarship average is based on the final grades of four Grade 11 courses (or the final grades of five Grade 12 courses, if available).
  • Application: Competitive awards: Submit the High School Awards application, available November 1 through the MyUofC portal (https://my.ucalgary.ca).
    There are two deadlines for the High School Awards competition:
    EARLY DEADLINE: December 15, 2015 (the year prior to entering the University). Students who apply by the early deadline are considered for all high school awards including Chancellor's Club Scholarships, Seymour Schulich Academic Excellence Scholarships, Seymour Schulich Community Service/Entrepreneurial Awards and the Leader in Health Sciences Scholarships.
    FINAL DEADLINE: March 1, 2016. Students who apply between December 16, 2015 and March 1, 2016 are considered for all high school awards excluding Chancellor's Club Scholarships, Seymour Schulich Academic Excellence Scholarships, Seymour Schulich Community Service/Entrepreneurial Awards and the Leader in Health Sciences Scholarships.
  • Nominated awards: No application required. Recipients are nominated by their faculties and departments.
    REMINDER: As part of the process of applying for admission, the University of Calgary issues a UCID number to each prospective student. This UCID number (or student ID) is required to apply for student awards. Admission to the University of Calgary is not required before applying for awards.
  • Notification: Recipients are notified by email at the beginning of June. Recipients are not required to accept their award.
  • Registration Requirement(s): Recipients are required to be registered full-time at the University of Calgary for the Fall Term by August 15, 2016 and must maintain full-time enrolment through the upcoming Fall and Winter Terms.
  • Payment: Award funds are split into two equal payments over Fall and Winter Terms, and are automatically applied to outstanding tuition and fees.
