About this award

You will receive a $1,000 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 Disability and Community Support program who has shown leadership and strong performance in your practical training. You must apply by October 15. When you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you will hear back — whether by email, phone, or through the student portal. Winners are chosen based on your academic responsibility, your capability, how well you performed in your practicum (your supervised practical training in a real-work setting), and your leadership qualities. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. Ask RRC Polytech (Red River College 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 RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must have completed the first year of the Disability and Community Support program at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic).

Tips for applying

• LeadershipAvoid just listing your titles or roles. Instead, describe a specific time you took initiative to help a peer or client. Give one concrete example of a leadership moment from your practicum.
• SupportAvoid vague references to your performance. Instead, ask your practicum supervisor for a specific example of a success you had while working with clients. Use that example in your letter.
• StrategyAvoid forgetting to label your application. Instead, clearly write "Inclusion Winnipeg Inc. Award" on your form so the reviewers know exactly which fund you are applying for.
• RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed based on grades alone. Instead, focus your letter on the balance between your academic work and your hands-on performance in the field.
