Information for Qualifying Independent Schools

This Bursary is intended to promote participation in private/independent schools in Calgary and area, and gives preference to students enrolling in the first year offered at the qualifying school. The bursary covers 50% of the total annual tuition (after any discounts are applied) to a maximum of $5,000.00. It is the intention of The Foundation to maintain the bursary award throughout the student’s school career (to grade 12), and as such, the Bursary follows the student (should they continue to meet the criteria and if the student transfers to another qualified private/independent school).

Bursaries are awarded to students enrolled in Private or Independent Schools in Calgary and area. A qualifying school must be accredited as an Independent (not Alternative through any regional school board) School by Alberta Education and have a valid Charitable Organization Registration number from Canada Revenue Agency.
