About this award

You can receive $2,500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have a strong record of volunteering in your community and are starting a program in business or technology. You must apply by September 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. 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.

Tips for applying

Community InvolvementAvoid just listing the organizations where you volunteered. Instead, write a short paragraph that explains exactly what you did and how it helped others. Focus on the impact of your actions.
SupportAvoid submitting vague descriptions of your roles. Instead, use specific examples of tasks you handled while volunteering. Mention the number of hours or the specific project you led.
StrategyAvoid forgetting to specify the award name on your form. Instead, clearly write "Payworks Entrance Award" in the designated spot on the General RRC Polytech Application. This ensures your application goes to the right committee.
RealismAvoid assuming that being from Manitoba or an Indigenous community guarantees the award. Instead, remember that these are preferences, not requirements, and you still need to prove your community involvement to be competitive.
