About this award

You can receive a $500 award. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are passionate about restoring and working on classic cars from previous decades. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask Holland College how and when you'll hear back — whether it is by email, the portal, or phone. Holland College lists this award's criteria on its official page (see Who qualifies). Ask Holland College how winners are picked among the students who meet them and how many usually apply, so you can judge your odds. Ask Holland College 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 Holland College whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be enrolled full-time in Holland College’s Automotive Technology program. You also need to show a genuine interest in repairing or working on antique vehicles, which the club defines as vehicles that are 30+ years old.

Tips for applying

• Written StatementAvoid giving a generic list of cars you like. Instead, describe a specific project where you worked on a vehicle 30 years or older. Detail the tools you used and what you learned from the repair.
• SupportAvoid omitting the technical details of your experience. Instead, use specific automotive terms to show your skill level. Mention the make and model of the antique cars you have handled.
• StrategyAvoid focusing only on your desire to own a classic car. Instead, emphasize your interest in the actual mechanical work of repairing them. Explain why you enjoy the challenge of older engines.
• RealismAvoid assuming this is a guaranteed award. Instead, treat it as a specialized prize for a niche hobby. Focus your application on your unique connection to antique vehicle restoration.
