Residency

To be considered for scholarships and awards, a student must be a resident of Alberta.

Unless otherwise indicated, a student is considered to be a resident of Alberta, if they meet one of the following conditions:

• one parent or legal guardian has maintained permanent residence in Canada for at least twelve (12) consecutive months immediately prior to commencing post-secondary studies and be residing in Alberta, or
• Alberta is the last place the student has lived for twelve (12) consecutive months immediately prior to commencing post-secondary studies, or
• the student’s spouse/partner has maintained permanent residence in Alberta for 12 consecutive months prior to the person attending post-secondary studies.

The time spent as a full-time post-secondary student in Alberta does not count towards the length of time required to establish residency in Alberta.
