General Information and Policies

The ݮƵ offers scholarships and bursaries to students continuing in their undergraduate degree program.

Eligibility: Open to students continuing in their undergraduate degree program after successfully completing the previous Fall and Winter Terms as a full-time student at the ݮƵ. A minimum GPA of 3.20 is required for scholarships and 2.60 for bursaries. The majority of these awards require the completion of a minimum of 24.00 units of academic course work; applicants with a verifiable permanent disability are considered for these awards upon completion of a minimum of 18.00 units of academic course work.

Spring and summer courses are not used in the calculation of a scholarship average for awards purposes.

Students who participated in a co-op work term in either Fall or Winter Term may be eligible to apply for these awards; please contact the Student Awards Office (ucawards@ucalgary.ca) to verify eligibility requirements.

Students participating in a 12- or 16-month internship are eligible to apply for these awards just prior to returning to full-time study at the ݮƵ. Grades earned in the previous Fall and Winter Terms before the start of the internship are used to calculate a scholarship average. Students are also eligible to be considered for nominated awards (including those requiring an application to the faculty or department) before starting their internship period.

ݮƵ students who participated in an official exchange program in either the previous Fall or Winter Terms are eligible to apply for these awards. Transferable courses from the host institution are combined with those from the ݮƵ to calculate a scholarship average. Students who participated in an official exchange over both terms are not eligible. However, these students may be eligible to apply for Transfer Awards upon returning to the ݮƵ.

ݮƵ students who attended another post-secondary institution in either the previous Fall or Winter Terms, and did not participate in an official exchange, are not eligible for these awards.

Students entering the first year of an after-degree program are not eligible for these awards. However, these students are encouraged to apply after completing a minimum of one year of the after-degree program.

Students with a previous degree who are entering the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (DVM) program are not eligible. DVM students should apply after completing their first year of full-time studies in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. Please see the section in these pages entitled “Faculty of Veterinary Medicine Awards” for more information.

Students with a previous degree who are enrolled in the Faculty of Law JD program are not eligible. JD students should apply for Faculty of Law Awards. Please see the section in these pages entitled “Faculty of Law Awards” for more information.

Students with a previous degree who are enrolled in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program are not eligible. MD students should apply for Cumming School of Medicine Awards. Please see the section in these pages entitled “Cumming School of Medicine Awards” for more information.
