About this award

You will receive a $500 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 the Industrial Electrical Technology program who excels in both classroom theory and hands-on practical work. 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

You must be enrolled in the Industrial Electrical Technology program. To qualify, you must demonstrate success in both the academic and applied components of your studies. If you win, you will also have the opportunity to gain industry-relevant experience through a 3-month employment internship with Hansen Electric upon graduation.

Tips for applying

• Academic SuccessAvoid only mentioning your grades. Instead, show how your academic success translates to the applied components of your program. Mention a specific project where your theory helped you solve a practical problem.
• StrategyAvoid submitting a basic application. Instead, highlight your readiness for the 3-month employment internship with Hansen Electric. Explain why you are prepared to enter the industry immediately after graduation.
• RealismAvoid assuming the internship is guaranteed for everyone. Instead, treat the $500 as a helpful boost and the internship as a high-value career opportunity that depends on your overall performance in the program.
