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
Medical students must be in first or second year at the University of Alberta or University of Calgary. Health students must be in first or second year of a patient-facing regulated health program at least two years long at an Alberta school. Students who have lived in a rural Alberta community for five years in a row get preference. Applications open December 1, 2026. The 2026 round closed February 1, and the 2027 date shown here assumes the same day and is not confirmed yet.
About this scholarship

The money covers tuition, housing, living costs and professional development.
