About this award

You can receive a $1,500 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you identify as female and are passionate about building a career and supporting other women in the construction industry. You must apply by the first Friday in November. No specific notification timeline is posted publicly — when you apply, ask how and when you'll hear back via email, portal, or phone. 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 identify as female and be enrolled in the Construction Management program at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic).
