About this award

You can receive a $700 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. It is available annually. This is for you if you are a Structural or Municipal Engineering Technology student at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) who is passionate about concrete technology and wants to expand your knowledge in the field. You must apply by the first Friday in November. When you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you'll hear back — whether by email, portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) 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 RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• EssayAvoid writing a generic statement about engineering. Instead, focus specifically on why you are interested in concrete technology and how you want to grow in this specific field. Describe a project or a concept in concrete that fascinates you.
• SupportAvoid submitting your essay without a second pair of eyes. Instead, ask a professor in the Engineering department to review your statement for technical accuracy. This ensures your passion for the field comes across professionally.
• StrategyAvoid forgetting to specify the award name. Since you use a general application form, you must clearly write "Concrete Manitoba Award" on the form so the committee knows which fund to pull from.
• RealismAvoid waiting until the last minute to upload your files. Because you only get document instructions after you submit the initial form, start the process early to ensure you meet the first Friday in November deadline.
