About this award

Depending on your year of study, you can receive a bursary ranging from $750 to $2,000. Specifically, there are two $750 bursaries for Year 1 Civil Technician Certificate students, one $1,000 bursary for Year 2 Construction Technician Certificate students, two $1,500 bursaries for Year 3 Construction Technology Diploma students, and two $2,000 bursaries for Year 4 Bachelor of Technology, Construction Management students. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are building a career in construction management and are currently progressing through your credentials at Red River Polytech. You must apply between November 1 and December 1. No notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask Manitoba Hydro how and when you will hear back about your application. Winners are chosen based on your academic performance, your home community, your financial need, and your involvement in the community. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask Manitoba Hydro how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Manitoba Hydro 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 are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Manitoba Hydro whether it is a one-time award or if you can apply again each year and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

• Community InvolvementAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe one specific project where your effort made a difference in your home community. Mention the specific result of your work.
• Financial NeedAvoid giving a vague statement that you need money. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your current gaps in funding. List your specific monthly expenses compared to your income.
• StrategyAvoid submitting your application on the final day of the window. Instead, aim to submit by mid-November to ensure any technical issues with the portal don't stop you. Set a calendar reminder for November 1.
• RealismAvoid assuming that being in the program guarantees an award. Instead, remember that Manitoba Hydro only offers bursaries to 7 students across all four years. Focus your application on the specific selection criteria like academic performance and community ties.
