What defines an Alberta resident?

To be a resident of Alberta means that you must have lived in Alberta for the past 12 consecutive months prior to starting studies and you were not a full-time post-secondary or upgrading student during those same 12 months.

How do I find out if I have received an award?

The Student Awards Administrator will contact you if you have been selected to receive a scholarship, bursary or award.

How do I apply for scholarships, bursaries and awards?

See the “How to Apply” page

Do I have to have high academics to apply?

You do NOT always have to have high academics to receive awards.  This is one of the most common myths that students have.  Scholarships are generally academically based but bursaries are based on a student’s financial need and awards are given out for a variety of different reasons, for example, where you live, where you graduated from high school, if you hold memberships with certain clubs and organizations, etc.  You won’t receive a scholarship, bursary or award if you don’t apply!!

What date is the Awards Ceremony going to be held on?

The awards ceremony will be held in the Alumni Centre on Wednesday March, 19, 2008.

Do I have to apply for Winter Awards if I have already applied for Entrance Awards?

You do not have to apply for Winter Awards if you have already applied for Entrance Awards; your application is automatically carried over. However, you can update your application at any time between Registration and the Winter Awards deadline (December 31st) .

Do only Alberta residents qualify for awards?

We have awards for all types of people! Check out our Student Awards Guide and you are bound to find award(s) that pertain to you, no matter where you are from.
