The Chancellor’s Circle (formerly the Chancellor’s Club) provides renewable, four-year scholarships for high-achieving students each year who not only demonstrate academic excellence but also exceptional community involvement. Since its inception in 1990, this network of donors has helped attract and retain students from across Canada, who bring exceptional abilities and aspirations to our university and our city. The Chancellor's Scholarship Program has become an essential facet of our university culture and has provided more than 300 top students from a wide range of disciplines with critical support throughout all four years of their undergraduate degree.

All Chancellor’s Circle funds go directly to student scholarships and participants receive a tax receipt for the full donation amount of $2,000. Circle participation begins annually on April 1 and runs until March 31. Throughout the year, donors are invited to university events including one signature student event in the spring where Chancellor’s Circle contributors can connect in person with Chancellor’s scholars and learn more about their UCalgary journeys.

Join the Chancellor’s Circle and help support the next generation of Chancellor’s scholars. Our most recent Chancellor’s scholars are a remarkable group of young people, ready to make a meaningful and positive impact on our community as they achieve their goals at UCalgary. If you would prefer to make a donation by phone please call 403-441-3500.

It is donors like you that have the commitment and support that our Chancellor’s Scholars thrive on to change the world.

Thank you.

The University of Calgary is committed to the highest standards of fiscal responsibility to ensure donor support creates meaningful and lasting impact. Every dollar donated goes directly to the donor’s chosen area, with no administration fees deducted. In 2023–2024, we raised $167 million while keeping our cost to raise a dollar well below the industry standard at $0.10 for every dollar raised.

Gifts received to support these areas may be directed to either endowed or non-endowed initiatives depending on the greatest need.
