About this award

You get $500.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as female or are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in applied sciences. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the portal. Holland College lists this award's criteria on its official page (see Who qualifies). Ask Holland College how winners are picked among the students who meet them and how many usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask Holland College during your application how the money will reach you — some awards pay students directly, others apply funds to tuition. Confirm this so you can plan your cash flow. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Holland College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a female-identifying and/or Indigenous student. You must be enrolled in either the Bioscience Technology or Environmental Applied Science Technology program at Holland College.
