About this award

You can receive a $500.00 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 second year student dedicated to the growth and well-being of children in your professional practice. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Holland College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask Holland 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 Holland College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

You must be a second year student enrolled in the Early Childhood Care and Education program.

Tips for applying

  • EssayAvoid writing a generic list of your skills. Instead, focus on the specific attributes you bring to both your profession and the children you care for. Use a real-life example from your placement to show these traits in action.
  • SupportAvoid submitting your essay without a second pair of eyes. Instead, ask a professor or a peer to review your draft for clarity. This ensures your message about your professional attributes is strong.
  • RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award based on your year of study. Instead, treat the essay as a competitive piece of writing. Focus on making your personal connection to the field of early childhood education clear.
