About this award

You get $2,000 for this bursary. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a full-time student who wants to experience a different part of Canada while improving your French skills. You must apply by February 28. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. 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

You must be currently a full-time post-secondary student. You also need to have either permanent resident status or Canadian citizenship. This award is open to you regardless of your current level of French, as courses are adapted for beginner, intermediate, or advanced learners.

Tips for applying

  • French LevelAvoid worrying that your French isn't perfect. Instead, remember that courses are designed for all levels from beginner to advanced. Check the course descriptions at the host institution to find the best match for your skill level.
  • SupportAvoid applying without researching locations. Instead, look into the different provinces offering the five weeks of classes to see which environment stimulates you most. Call 1 (877) 866-4242 for more information on Official-Languages Programs.
  • RealismAvoid assuming this is a full-ride scholarship. Instead, treat the $2,000 as a significant contribution toward your travel and study costs. Budget for any additional expenses you might have while exploring another province.
