Joanne Cuthbertson & Charlie Fischer Chancellor's Scholarship

The Joanne Cuthbertson & Charlie Fischer Chancellor's Scholarship is offered annually to a high school student entering first year in any undergraduate faculty at the University of Calgary. The scholarship recognizes exceptional academic merit and promise, as well as demonstrated leadership and contribution to school and/or community life. Recipients must be Canadian citizens or Permanent Residents. The scholarship is renewable in the second, third and fourth year at the University of Calgary, provided the recipient achieves a minimum GPA of 3.60 over a minimum of 30.00 units in the previous fall and winter terms. The University expects that the recipient will continue their involvement in activities outside the classroom. Therefore, recipients must submit annually to the Student Awards Office for review and approval, a copy of their Co-Curricular Record and/or a statement outlining their leadership and campus/community involvement during the most recent academic year. This prestigious entrance scholarship supports students who have demonstrated both academic excellence and meaningful engagement in their communities. The renewable nature of the award provides sustained financial support throughout a student's undergraduate degree, contingent upon maintaining strong academic performance and continued extracurricular involvement.
