About this award

You can receive approximately $5,000 from this award. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a local student from West Prince who is transitioning from high school into a specialized technical, trade, or healthcare program. You must apply by April 2, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through an application portal. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Holland College how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive 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 West Prince and be graduating from Westisle Composite High School.

Tips for applying

Career GoalsAvoid writing a generic objective statement. Instead, describe the specific impact you want to have in your chosen industry. List the exact tools or techniques you are excited to master in your program.
ReferencesAvoid asking a friend or family member for a letter. Instead, ask an instructor who has seen your work ethic in a classroom or shop setting. Give them a copy of your resume so they can write specific examples of your skills.
StrategyAvoid submitting a basic resume. Instead, tailor your experience to match the requirements of the specific program you are entering. Highlight any hands-on projects or workshops you have completed.
RealismAvoid assuming you qualify just because you attend the school. Remember that you must also meet the West Prince residency requirement to be eligible.
