About this award

You can receive a $750 award. There are two of these awards available annually. 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 nursing student who has stepped up to lead and support your classmates within your program. You must apply by June 1st annually. 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. You are nominated for this award by a peer or a faculty member. 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

• SupportAvoid relying on a single nomination if you can help it. Instead, identify both a peer and a faculty member who can speak to your leadership skills. Reach out to them early to ensure they have time to complete the forms.
• StrategyAvoid forgetting to specify the award name on your form. Instead, clearly write "Peer Leadership Award - Nursing" on the application. Double-check that the name matches exactly so your file is routed correctly.
• RealismAvoid assuming the nomination alone guarantees the money. Instead, remember there are only two awards available each year for the entire BN program. Treat this as a bonus rather than a primary source of funding.
