About this award

As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back.

No deadline is posted publicly — before you start the application, check George Brown Polytechnic's program page or call their office to confirm when applications open and close this year. When you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back — email, portal, or phone. Ask George Brown Polytechnic how it chooses among eligible students and roughly how many apply so you can judge your odds. Ask George Brown 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 George Brown Polytechnic whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Tips for applying

  • Community InvolvementAvoid just listing the names of organizations where you volunteered. Instead, describe the specific impact your work had on others. Write about one specific project where your help made a difference.
  • SupportAvoid providing a generic character reference. Instead, ask a supervisor from a hospitality setting or a community leader to speak to your work ethic. Ensure they mention your reliability in a professional environment.
  • StrategyAvoid focusing only on your grades. Instead, highlight your desire to build a career in the hospitality industry. Explain why you chose your specific culinary program and where you want to work after graduation.
  • RealismAvoid assuming enrolment alone will win this award. Instead, treat the community involvement and industry commitment as the main deciding factors. Gather your proof of volunteering before you open the application portal.
