About this award

The main recipient of this award earns $1,000, and the runner-up earns $500. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. This is for you if you have balanced your academic studies with hands-on professional experience through a co-op placement. Your application is due in early December. No specific notification date is posted publicly — when you apply, ask RRC Polytech (Red River College Polytechnic) how and when you will hear back. 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.

  • StrategyAvoid waiting until the December deadline to gather your paperwork. Instead, start your application package as soon as your work term ends while the details are fresh. Set a personal deadline for late November to allow for review.
  • RealismAvoid assuming that participation alone guarantees a win. Instead, recognize that this is a competitive award based on the quality of your integration of work and study. Focus your application on how the co-op experience improved your academic performance.
