You can receive a one-time scholarship or award of up to $5,000, or a renewable scholarship or award of up to $8,000 that is payable over two years. As these are scholarships, they are not loans, so you do not have to pay the money back. This is for you if you are a high-achieving student who has made significant contributions to your school or community, including work related to social justice or Indigenous Truth and Reconciliation. The 2026 round ran from October 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026 (11:59pm) and has closed; winners were told by mid-May. Douglas College's award guide lists the entrance award window as October 1 to March 31, so check its page from October for the next round. Your application has to show your contributions to your school or community and your resilience, perseverance and goals, backed by two reference letters. Douglas College doesn't say how many awards it gives, so ask if you want to judge your odds. Ask Douglas College 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 Douglas College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.
You must be starting your studies at Douglas College in the Fall semester (September-December) and have an active application for admission to Douglas College on record for that Fall semester. You are required to have a minimum admission GPA (Grade Point Average — the average of all your final grades) of 3.0 and show that you have made significant contributions to your school or community. The same application form also considers students with a 3.5 admission GPA or higher for Douglas College's Entrance Scholarships.
