About this award

You will receive a $500 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student in the Small Business Manager program who wants to develop the skills needed to start or grow a local company. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College how and when you will 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 a resident of PEI (Prince Edward Island) and enrolled at Holland College. You must show a demonstration of strong academic ability and be in the Small Business Manager program. A preference is given to students that live in West Prince, PEI.

Tips for applying

GeographyAvoid giving only your city. Instead, be very specific about your community, especially if you live in Summerside or west of it. This helps the committee see if you meet the West Prince preference.
StrategyAvoid a generic application. Instead, connect your goals to the mission of CBDC (the Community Business Development Corporation — an organization that helps entrepreneurs start and modernize small businesses). Explain how this award helps you contribute to the PEI economy.
RealismAvoid assuming the preference is a guarantee. Instead, focus on proving your academic strength alongside your residency. Remember that preference means those students are prioritized, but others can still win.
