About this award

You can receive one of four bursaries valued at $2,000 each. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have Indigenous heritage and are pursuing a career in the culinary arts. 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 application portal. Selection is based on your financial need. Selection criteria aren't published in detail, so ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how they evaluate financial information and how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. The money goes to your school first to pay for your tuition costs. If there is any money left over after your tuition is paid, the surplus funds will be given directly to you. Confirm with RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how these surplus funds are delivered. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you are counting on this for multiple years, confirm with RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) whether it is a one-time award or if you can apply again.

Who qualifies

You must have Indigenous heritage and be attending the Culinary Skills program at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic). Priority is given to those in the Culinary Skills program, but if there are not enough applicants from that program, the funds will be awarded to Indigenous heritage students attending any other program at the College who have applied for other bursaries. Selection is based on your financial need.

Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid providing vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear and detailed financial information that proves why you need this funding. Gather your latest tax or income documents before you start the form.
SupportAvoid submitting your heritage documentation late. Instead, have your document verifying Indigenous heritage ready to upload immediately after you submit the main form. Check the portal for the specific upload instructions.
StrategyAvoid leaving the award name blank. Instead, write "Ken and Peggy French - Culinary Skills Award for Indigenous Students" exactly as it appears on the application form. This ensures your application is routed to the correct fund.
RealismAvoid assuming you are guaranteed a spot just by meeting the basic requirements. Instead, remember that only four bursaries are available and they are awarded based on financial need. Apply early to ensure all your documents are processed.
