About this award

You can receive a $10,000 award to help pay for your tuition, books, housing, groceries, or any other expenses you have while studying. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a student who wants a chance at significant funding regardless of your grades or previous accomplishments. Enter by January 31, 2027. The winner is chosen through a random drawing in early February. Selection criteria aren't published because it is a contest — check the contest rules on the entry site for how many people typically enter so you can judge your odds. Check the contest rules for how the prize is paid — 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, check the contest rules for whether it's a one-time prize or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be aged 13 or older. You must also be a current registered student in good standing at a university, college, CEGEP (Collège d'enseignement général et professionnel — the public post-secondary colleges in Quebec), or a high school/secondary school in Canada.

Tips for applying

SupportAvoid looking for academic referees. Instead, focus on ensuring your registration details match your school's records. Double-check that your student status is current and in good standing.
StrategyAvoid overthinking the application process. Instead, treat this as a quick entry since it only takes one minute. Submit your form before the January 31, 2027 deadline.
RealismAvoid counting on this as a source of funding. Instead, remember that this is a random drawing rather than a merit-based scholarship. Use this as a potential bonus rather than your primary financial plan.
