The University of Calgary offers bursaries to students enrolled in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program in the Cumming School of Medicine.

Students wishing to apply for the competitive Medical Elective Awards submit a separate application; refer to the “Medical Elective Awards” section in this Calendar for details.

  • Eligibility: Open to students entering or continuing in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program at the University of Calgary.
    Students in year two or three of the Doctor of Medicine program must be in satisfactory academic standing to be eligible for these awards.
    Students entering the Bachelor of Health Sciences or Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation program (admitted on the basis of their high school grades) are not eligible for these awards and should apply for High School Awards (refer to the “High School Awards” section of this Calendar for details).
    Students continuing in the Bachelor of Health Sciences or Bachelor of Community Rehabilitation program are not eligible for these awards and should apply for Undergraduate Awards for Continuing Students (refer to the “Undergraduate Awards for Continuing Students” section of this Calendar for details).
  • Application: Competitive awards: Students must submit the Cumming School of Medicine Bursaries application, available June 1 in the online Student Centre through my.ucalgary.ca.

To be eligible for a Differential Tuition Bursary, a student must be paying the differential tuition fee to the Cumming School of Medicine for the academic year in which the Differential Tuition Bursary is awarded.
    Nominated awards: No application required. Recipients are nominated by the faculty.
