About this award
You can receive $510.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a mature learner returning to the classroom after a significant break in your education. 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. Holland College lists this award's criteria on its official page (see Who qualifies). Ask Holland College how winners are picked among the students who meet them and how many usually apply, 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
To qualify, you must be a resident of Prince Edward Island (PEI) and be enrolled in the Computer Information Systems program. You must also demonstrate financial need and be a mature student who has not been enrolled in any educational institution for a minimum of two years.

Tips for applying
- Financial NeedAvoid providing vague statements about your budget. Instead, give a clear picture of your current financial situation and why this funding is needed. List your specific monthly expenses and income gaps.
- StrategyAvoid focusing only on your past. Instead, explain how your time away from school has prepared you for the Computer Information Systems program. Connect your life experience to your current academic goals.
- RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award based on your age. Instead, remember that you must meet the strict two-year non-enrollment rule and show financial need to be considered.
