Awards, Scholarships and Bursaries | International Student Services – University of Calgary
Awards, scholarships and bursaries can reduce the cost of your education and lighten the financial burden of student loans and tuition. They can also provide recognition of your hard-earned academic achievements.
The Chancellor Cuthbertson Student Success Centre hosts a free workshop called “Awards, Scholarships, and Funding Opportunities” for UCalgary students. This session provides an overview of competition processes, selection criteria, and common components of an award application. Register through ucalgary.ca/ssc (then choose “Register for an event or workshop”).

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The City of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta (Districts 5 and 6).
The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
