About this award

You can receive one of two awards valued at $1,200 each. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are an Indigenous student pursuing a career in business administration. You must apply by October 15th. 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 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. The money goes toward your program fees for the year first. If there is any surplus remaining after your fees are paid, that extra money will be given directly to you. Confirm with RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) during your application if this is handled as a tuition credit or a direct payment. 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 in future years and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be an Indigenous student enrolled in the second year of Business Administration at RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic). You must have achieved a minimum 2.5 GPA (Grade Point Average — the numerical average of your final grades) in each previous semester and demonstrate financial need.

Tips for applying

Financial NeedAvoid providing vague statements about needing money. Instead, give specific examples of your current expenses and income gaps. List your monthly costs clearly to show why this $1,200 would make a difference.
StrategyAvoid forgetting to specify the award name on your form. Instead, clearly write "North West Company Award" in the designated section of the General RRC Polytech Application. This ensures your application reaches the right committee.
RealismAvoid assuming the award is guaranteed based on your GPA alone. Instead, remember that there are only two awards available each year. Focus on highlighting both your academic success and your financial situation to stand out.
