About this award

You can receive one of two awards valued at $500 each. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a young adult from the Filipino community looking to start your education at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic). You must apply by August 31. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based on an essay you submit that describes your career plans, your objectives, and how you have been involved in community service. Ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) 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 from the Filipino community and have been accepted into a full-time diploma, certificate, or degree program at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic).

Tips for applying

EssayAvoid writing a generic summary of your life. Instead, focus on specific career objectives and concrete examples of your community service. Describe one specific project where your help made a difference.
StrategyAvoid forgetting to name the award on your form. Instead, clearly write "Fausto Yadao Award" on your application so the reviewers know exactly which fund you are applying for.
RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed just because you meet the identity criteria. Instead, remember that only two awards are given annually, so your essay needs to clearly show your ambition and community impact.
