What we keep
Nothing else is sent until you press the button in the confirmation email. If you never do, the address is deleted within 30 days. Otherwise it goes 60 days after the deadline or the moment you unsubscribe, whichever comes first. A listing with no date keeps it a year at most, and nothing is kept past 18 months. We never sell or trade it. Questions go to hello@scholarab.ca. The full privacy policy.
Worth knowing
Three deadlines a year, tied to when you start school. Apply by June 1 to start September to December, by October 1 to start January to April, and by February 1 to start May to August. The next one is February 1, 2027. You reapply every year.

About this scholarship
Alberta pays up to $40,000 toward post-secondary for youth aged 18 to 24 who have been in government care. If you've been in foster care, this is the largest source of funding available to you in the province.
