Help build our Centennial Scholarship Program
In 2026, Alberta University of the Arts will celebrate 100 years of shaping Canada’s creative landscape. To mark this historic occasion, AUArts has launched the Centennial Scholarships Campaign — an ambitious initiative to provide tuition-free scholarships for the next generation of diverse artists, craftspersons, and designers. An unprecedented $1 million donation from a visionary Anonymous Alumni Donor has initiated the campaign’s success. Your contribution will help establish an endowment to sustain tuition-free scholarships and transform the lives of AUArts students.

More ways to donate
AUArts has multiple scholarship opportunities directed to specific creative disciplines or designed to support diverse student needs. Your donation of any amount will strengthen these awards and directly support student success.
You can donate online today to our General Scholarship Fund or to one of the other awards listed below.
If your gift is greater that $1,000, you can choose to create a new scholarship. We will work with you to establish a multi-year or one-time award in the name of your choice, and awarded according to the criteria you specify.
For a lasting impact, you can establish an endowment fund. With a donation of $25,000 or more, AUArts will establish an endowment fund in the name of your choosing. Awards are granted from the interest earned on your donation, with the principal amount preserved to enable annual disbursements from the fund.
