About this award

You can receive $580.00. As a scholarship, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a second-year student in the Construction Technology and Management program who wants to showcase your leadership and professional growth. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College 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.

Tips for applying

• EssayAvoid writing a generic summary of your grades. Instead, focus on your most valued achievements and how your dedication has shaped your career path. Describe one specific time your leadership made a difference in the program.
• SupportAvoid submitting your essay without a second pair of eyes. Instead, ask a professor in the Construction Technology and Management department to review your draft for professional tone. This ensures your professional promise comes across clearly.
• StrategyAvoid focusing only on what you have learned. Instead, emphasize your contribution to the program and how you have helped others. Show the committee that you are an active leader in your peer group.
• RealismAvoid assuming that being in the second year makes you automatically eligible. Instead, ensure your essay explicitly addresses all four criteria: performance, contribution, professional promise, and leadership. Double-check that you meet every requirement before hitting submit.
