About this award

You get $500 from this scholarship. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a Prince Edward Island resident pursuing a career in accounting and have maintained strong grades during your first year of college. 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 a resident of Prince Edward Island (PEI) and currently in your second year of studies in the Accounting Technology program at Holland College. You also need to demonstrate academic success from your first year of the program.
