About this award

You can receive a $1,000 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 parent balancing your studies with raising children and you have immigrated to Canada to build your life here. You must apply by January 15th. 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 student portal. 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.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a full-time domestic student at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) who has dependent children and is facing financial barriers. You must have been born outside of Canada and have since made Canada your permanent home. Additionally, you must have completed at least one academic term and achieved a minimum 2.50 GPA (Grade Point Average — the numerical average of your final grades).

Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about the specific financial barriers you face while raising your children. List your monthly expenses to show why this $1,000 would make a difference.
StrategyAvoid forgetting to specify the award name. Instead, clearly write "David and Barbara Schroeder Award" on your general application form. This ensures the committee knows exactly which fund you are applying for.
RealismAvoid assuming the general application is the final step. Instead, watch for the follow-up instructions that arrive after you submit your initial form. Set a reminder to upload your supporting documents immediately so you don't miss the January 15th deadline.
