General Policies for University-Administered Scholarships, Bursaries and Awards:

Unless otherwise stated, the following policies are in effect with regard to University administered awards:

Monetary awards, except certain cash prizes, are contingent upon the student proceeding with his, or her, university program in the immediate next academic session. Unless otherwise stated in the terms of reference, awards are payable only when the student is in actual full-time attendance at the University of Calgary.

The payment of tuition and fees is the first charge against scholarships and bursaries. If the value of an award is stated as "tuition and fees", it is understood not to include differential fees.

Students who have deferred exams, incomplete term work, grades not yet received for an international exchange, etc. at the time of award selections will be deemed ineligible.

In order that awards may be equitably distributed, no student may normally hold more than one major award in any one year.

If a student is granted an award, the University of Calgary reserves the right to release pertinent information to provincial funding bodies or the donor of the award.

The University assumes liability for the payment of scholarships, bursaries, prizes and other awards only to the extent that gifts from donors, or returns from particular investments for these purposes will permit. As this information is published a considerable time before the opening of the session, the University reserves the right to make whatever changes circumstances may require, including cancellation or addition of particular awards.
