About the University	The University of Calgary is a young and vibrant campus community geared toward providing you with a memorable university experience.

In 2012, the QS World University Ranking indentified the University of Calgary as the #1 university in Canada under the age of 50 and one of the top 20 young universities internationally. The institution was founded in 1945 when the Calgary Normal School became a branch of the University of Alberta�s education faculty. Established on its current 213-hectare site in northwest Calgary in 1960, the University gained full autonomy as a degree-granting institution six years later.

Financial support / Grants	More information on study and placement grants for law students is available at the website rug.nl/law/lep. For studying in countries outside Europe students can apply for a grant from the Marco Polo Fund, which comprises of both faculty and university resources. Marco Polo grants do not cover travel and residential expenses completely; they are merely a contribution towards the extra costs involved in studying abroad. In 2017-2018 the Marco Polo grant has been set at € 240 - € 360 per calendar month, depending on the country of your host university. This may change per academic year. Your application for an exchange period at one of the Faculty's partner universities also counts as your application for a grant. When you receive notification of a place for study abroad, you will also learn whether or not you have been awarded a Marco Polo grant.
