Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your monthly expenses and income. List your specific costs for tools and textbooks to show why you need the funds.
SupportAvoid using a generic character reference. Instead, ask a teacher from your Heavy Duty Equipment Technician program to speak to your work ethic. A reference from a shop instructor carries more weight.
StrategyAvoid forgetting to specify the award name. Instead, clearly write "Cummins Canada Award" on your General RRC Polytech Application. This ensures your file goes to the right committee.
RealismAvoid assuming the preference for Indigenous students guarantees the award. Instead, focus on proving both your academic standing and your financial need. Remember that only one award is available annually.
