About this award

You can receive a $2,500 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student in the engineering or construction sectors who uses creativity and leadership to develop environmentally responsible solutions. 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 it is by email, phone, or through the application portal. The Faculty Committee chooses the winner based on how well you align with the values of Cypher Environmental and your potential to lead in sustainable construction and engineering. Selection criteria aren't published — ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) 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.

  • StrategyAvoid forgetting to specify the award name on your form. Instead, clearly write "Cypher Environmental Award for Innovation in Engineering and Construction Tech." on your application so the Faculty Committee knows exactly which fund you are applying for.
