Andrew Kirkor Memorial Bursary

The Andrew Kirkor Memorial Bursary is offered annually by the Students' Union at the University of Calgary in memory of the late Andrew Kirkor, who was an active member of the Students' Legislative Council. This bursary provides financial assistance to continuing undergraduate students who demonstrate both academic merit and financial need. The award is specifically designed for mature students who are 24 years of age or over and who are enrolled in any faculty at the University of Calgary. Recipients must be in their second, third, or fourth year of undergraduate studies. The bursary recognizes the unique challenges faced by mature students returning to or continuing their education while balancing financial responsibilities. With an award value of $1,500, this bursary helps alleviate the financial burden of post-secondary education for one eligible student each year. Applications are submitted through the My UCalgary Portal for Continuing Undergraduate Awards, and selection is based on a combination of financial need, academic performance, and meeting the mature student age requirement.
