About this award

You can receive a minimum of $1,000 from one of two awards available annually. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have a background in sports and leadership and are passionate about healthy living and caring for others. You must apply by November 30th for the fall term or May 29, 2026, for the winter term. When you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you will hear back—whether by email, phone, or the application portal. Selection criteria aren't published—ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how winners are chosen and roughly 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 be attending the Health Care Aide certificate program at the RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) Notre Dame Campus.

Tips for applying

  • SupportAvoid submitting a statement without checking it for clarity. Instead, ask a teacher or mentor to review your one-page essay to ensure your leadership qualities stand out. Have them check that you answered all three prompts required by the award.
  • StrategyAvoid forgetting to name the award on your form. Instead, clearly write "Karla Ferens Memorial Entrance Award for Health Care Aide" on your application so the reviewers know exactly which fund you are applying for. Double-check that the name matches the source exactly.
  • RealismAvoid assuming that being in the program makes you a winner. Instead, remember that only two awards are given annually—one per start date. Focus your essay on the specific traits of Karla Ferens, such as sports involvement and leadership, to increase your chances.
