About this award

You can receive a $400.00 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are pursuing a career in Construction Technology and Management and can articulate your professional goals. 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, the portal, or phone. 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 enrolled in the Construction Technology and Management program at Holland College.

Tips for applying

• EssayAvoid writing a generic summary of your life. Instead, connect your previous education and work experience directly to your specific career goals in construction. Write one concrete example of a project that sparked your interest in management.
• SupportAvoid submitting your biography without a second pair of eyes. Instead, ask a teacher or mentor to review your statement of goals for clarity. Have them check that your career ambitions sound realistic and professional.
• StrategyAvoid treating the supplemental questions as a formality. Instead, use the biography section to show how your past experiences make you a great fit for the construction industry. Focus on the skills you've already built.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed based on grades alone. Instead, recognize that the essay and biography are the main ways you distinguish yourself from other students. Put equal effort into your writing as you do your coursework.
