How the EducationMatters application works
One EducationMatters application covers every CBE and Calgary Catholic award. It opens March 1, and most awards close May 30, a few May 1. Every one has three rules: you must be 20 or younger on September 1, not yet in post-secondary, and applying in your Grade 12 year. Once you leave high school you can no longer apply, so a gap year is fine only if you applied before you graduated.
116 awards listed here go through it.
About this scholarship
Open to students in a Calgary Board of Education school who are completing grade 12 and are new refugees or immigrants to Canada within the last five (5) years. Applicants must have academic grades sufficient to allow admission into their chosen area of study/educational facility and demonstrate financial need. Academic achievement is not the determining factor for this award.
