About this award

You can apply for one of three awards valued at $1,500 each, or a single award of $2,400. As these are bursaries, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a full-time student in the Construction Management program who is facing financial challenges while continuing your education. You must apply by the first Friday in November. When you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you will hear back about your application status. Selection is based on your demonstrated financial need. Since specific committee details aren't published, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how winners are chosen and roughly how many people apply 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 a one-time award or if you can apply again each year.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement about needing money. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your current expenses and income gaps. List your specific monthly costs to show exactly why this funding is needed.
• Employer SupportAvoid omitting your work history if you have worked for a WCA (the Winnipeg Construction Association — a non-profit trade group for commercial contractors and suppliers in Manitoba) member firm. Instead, explicitly name the company on your application. Check the WCA member list to confirm if your employer is a member.
• StrategyAvoid submitting a generic application. Instead, make sure you clearly state the award name, "Construction Management Continuing Students Awards," on your form as requested. Double-check that you have entered the exact name so your application is routed correctly.
• RealismAvoid assuming the GPA requirement is the only factor. Instead, remember that selection is primarily based on financial need. Focus your energy on documenting your financial situation accurately.
