If you continue to meet the criteria, the award is renewed for the additional years required for your same program. This is for you if you are a Manitoba resident who plans to use your education to contribute to Manitoba's economy after you graduate. You must apply by January 15, 2026. No specific notification date is posted publicly — when you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you will hear back about your application.
