About this award

You can receive one of two $250 bursaries. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a student in the carpentry trade who needs extra financial support to complete your training. If you are starting in the fall, you must apply by October 15th. If you are starting in the winter, your deadline is March 15th. When you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Selection is based on your financial need. 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
