About this award

You can receive $6,070.00. This is a bursary, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are starting your journey as a chef and need financial support to help cover your education costs. You must apply by April 2, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. A selection committee reviews applications and chooses a short list of candidates to participate in an interview process. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Holland College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive 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 entering your first year of studies in the Culinary Institute of Canada’s Culinary Arts program and demonstrate financial need.

Tips for applying

StrategyAvoid treating the interview as a casual chat. Instead, prepare for the selection committee by practicing how you will explain your financial need and your career goals. Dress professionally to match the standards of the industry.
RealismAvoid assuming the interview guarantees the money. Instead, remember that only a short list of candidates are selected for this stage. Continue applying for other bursaries while you wait for a decision.
