About this award

You can receive a $750 award. As a bursary, this money is yours to keep and you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you are a student at Holland College's Summerside Waterfront Campus who needs extra financial help to complete your program. You must apply by November 1, 2026. When you apply, ask 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.

Tips for applying

• Financial NeedAvoid giving vague descriptions of your situation. Instead, provide clear details about your current expenses and income gaps. List your monthly costs to show why you need this funding.
• StrategyAvoid waiting until the last minute to fill out your profile. Instead, complete your General Application early since you are automatically considered for this award based on that form. Double-check that your program and campus are correctly listed.
• RealismAvoid assuming this award is guaranteed just because you meet the basic criteria. Instead, remember that funds are limited and competition depends on how many students in your specific cohort apply. Apply for multiple awards to increase your chances.
