Worth knowing
Black Gold's own division-managed scholarship summary is where the criteria and the date come from, and the date it gives is a bare day with no year, so it repeats. The summary was last updated in April 2025, so confirm the amount with the division before counting on it.
About this scholarship
Three recipients a year at $6,000 each, held in perpetuity through the Edmonton Community Foundation and paid in two halves, $3,000 when granted and $3,000 on confirmation of a completed first semester and continued enrolment. The qualifying condition is financial need that would restrict your ability to pursue post-secondary education at all. The application is a form, a letter of introduction addressing the criteria, a reference letter from an authority figure outside your immediate family, a current transcript, and a preliminary acceptance letter. At $6,000 this is the largest locally funded award in the Leduc area by a wide margin.
