Unless otherwise stated, the following policies are in effect with regard to University administered awards: In order to qualify: • Students must have completed their most recent consecutive Fall and Winter Sessions at the University of Calgary. An exception is made for students enrolled in Co-operative Education/Internship programs or Exchange programs involving only one semester of study.

Unless otherwise stated in the conditions, 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. • Supplemental, deferred and special deferred examinations or term work may affect eligibility for awards. • In support of the Academic Plan, awards are distributed among the most deserving students and in keeping with the terms of reference for awards. No student may normally receive total award funds of more than the value equivalent to the average cost of attendance as calculated by the Student Awards and Financial Aid office unless the value of the award is higher. 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.
