The University of Calgary Students’ Union has announced a new scholarship — the ABLE award.
Deadline to apply: Monday, March 21 at 4:00 p.m.
Amount: $500
From the Students’ Union:
The SU recognizes that there is a gap in current awards systems and processes, creating barriers for persons with disabilities from accessing scholarships and awards. The SU ABLE award seeks to address some of these challenges by recognizing students that have demonstrated resilience and shown that regardless of these barriers, they have been ABLE to excel in their educational field and have proven to be a leader for others in their community. One $500 Award will be given out at the end of the winter semester.
Completed application packages can be submitted to Colson Buchanan (SU Policy Analyst) by email (colson.buchanan@ucalgary.ca). The deadline to apply is Monday, March 21 at 4:00 p.m.
Applicants must be:
- Be a continuing undergraduate student enrolled at the University of Calgary. Registered full-time but needing only 6 units in both fall and winter terms.
- Be registered with University of Calgary’s Student Accessibility Services
- Demonstrate academic merit
- Demonstrate financial need
- Demonstrate extra-curricular activities showing leadership in the community
