About this award

You can receive $520.00. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a woman or female-identifying person returning to school after a significant gap in your education. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College how and when you will hear back — whether it is by email, phone, or through the awards portal. 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 female-identifying resident of Prince Edward Island. You must also have had a minimum of a two year break in your education. This award is open to students in all programs.

Tips for applying

EssayAvoid writing a generic summary of your life. Instead, focus on the specific steps you took to return to school and how you have shown leadership in your community. Describe one concrete moment where you took charge of a project.
StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to draft your essay. Instead, outline your points regarding your educational break and leadership skills early so you can refine your tone. Submit your application through the Holland College awards portal well before the November deadline.
RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed because of your break in schooling. Instead, remember that you are being judged on your essay and leadership abilities. Treat the essay as a formal application of your strengths.
