About this award

You can receive a bursary of $500. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep — there is nothing to repay. This is for you if you are a nursing student who needs extra financial support to stay focused on your studies. Your deadline depends on your year of study: Year 2 students must apply by February 15 annually, and Year 1 students must apply by April 15 annually. You will hear back from RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) after they review the applications, though the exact notification date is not posted publicly. Financial need is the main factor the committee uses to choose winners. Selection criteria aren't published in detail — ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) 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

• Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your expenses. Instead, provide a clear breakdown of your monthly costs and income gaps. List your specific rent, food, and book costs to show exactly why you need the $500.
• SupportAvoid submitting your supplemental form without double-checking the Nursing Repository. Instead, ensure you have the most current version of the form. Download the document from the repository before you start the general application.
• RealismAvoid assuming that a 2.50 GPA guarantees the award. Instead, remember that financial need is the primary factor for selection. Focus your energy on clearly explaining your financial situation in the supplemental form.
