About this award

For the winter intake, you can receive one of up to 5 bursaries valued at $1,000 each. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. More broadly, the foundation provides up to 36 bursaries annually ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 each. This is for you if you are a Canadian student who needs extra financial support to afford your education. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask 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 a Canadian citizen or a Canadian permanent resident. You must be entering a program at Holland College as a full-time student in any program of study. To qualify, you must have completed high school within the last five years and you must demonstrate financial need.

Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about your current income and expenses. List your monthly costs to show why this $1,000 would make a difference.
RealismAvoid assuming this is guaranteed because you have need. Instead, remember that there are only a few awards available each intake. Apply for other bursaries at the same time to increase your chances.
