About this award

You can receive a $610.00 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student in Pastry Arts who is passionate about baking and giving back to your community. 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, a portal message, or a phone call. 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

You must be enrolled in the Pastry Arts program and be able to demonstrate financial need.

This is what the award's official page said when we last checked. Rules change, so confirm on the award's official page before you apply.

Tips for applying

EssayAvoid writing a generic list of your baking skills. Instead, tell a specific story about your passion for baking and how you stayed positive while facing a difficult challenge.
SupportAvoid providing a basic list of volunteer dates. Instead, describe the impact your community service had on others and what you learned from the experience.
StrategyAvoid submitting a short, one-paragraph biography. Instead, use your biography to weave together your personal history, your love for pastry arts, and your community involvement.
RealismAvoid assuming that being in the program makes you a winner. Instead, focus on proving your financial need and your character through your essay and bio to stand out.
