Email me when the next round opens

We send one link to confirm, then an email when the next round opens.
Reminders come from ScholarAB in Medicine Hat, Alberta. We store your address only to send them, and delete it the moment you unsubscribe, which you can do any time from any email.
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

At least 75% is required in five designated courses in at least one of Grades 10 to 12, with higher award levels at 80%. Applicants must be Canadian citizens, permanent residents or protected persons. Alberta Student Aid names Lloydminster as a border community, so all students living there are eligible, whether the Alberta side or the Saskatchewan side, provided they attend Holy Rosary High School or Lloydminster Comprehensive High School. Your courses still have to line up with the Alberta curriculum, so ask about your transcript early.

What you'll need

  • A verified Alberta Student Aid account, which asks for your SIN
  • Your Alberta Student Number, from your transcript
  • You apply once your final marks are in and you are enrolled full-time after high school. No essay or references.
